Better not, I lost all of my Facebook friends when the #Meta AI deleted my 11+ year old account in 09/24, I don´t want to lose all my X friends either, they won´t join #Bluesky.
It's busy killing itself because trying to make sense of what this administration is doing is impossible, : @elonmusk bots are just repeating each other at this point
"Due to Elon Musks and Donald Trumps blatant fascism and lack of humanity we as a digital army for the people will continue our peaceful DDOS protests against X formerly known as Twitter. Thank you for your love and support," Puck Arks in said his third post addressing the outages.
Elon did try to back out of the deal (I was so hopeful), but the courts wouldn’t let him rescind his offer to buy it (that’s when I deleted my account).
Txitter and Bluesky seem to be having issues today. I just got on here moments ago, couldn't get on for the last half hour. Before that it was off and on and slowwwww
Tusk already killed twitter X is the zombified corpse of an undead bird terrorizing us lol but by all means dump the Nazi's social media for blue sky where liberty reigns.
Twitter is long dead. Staying there is like if your favorite bar changed owners, changed the name, renovated, and became a Nazis hangout and you still kept going there out of habit.
This ALL DAY. People keep insisting that X will always be Twitter, but it doesn't exist, not even in name or logo. He changed all decent things about it. Call a spade a spade already and move on from there. If most reasonable people left X, he'd have maga and bots to deal with (no arguing w/them).
I noticed all the suggested videos and posts on instagram were getting that way too. It was kinda the last straw for me. I was getting pissed off every time I logged on.
“Albatross….
Two choc-ices please ..”
“ I haven’t got Choc-ices ..I only got Albatross…Albatross!”
“Albatross!!!”
“What flavor is it?”
“ it’s a bloody sea bird… it’s not any bloody flavor..Albatross!!”
“ “do you get wafers with it?”
By using Twitter-X, you enrich an erratic and unhinged oligarch who is literally destroying the US from within and destabilizing the entire planet, pushing the world towards fascism.
Imagine the Bird in a Tesla with their crazy owner blasting off to Mars on a one way ticket to oblivion. How many of you would pay to see that? The ratings would be bigger than big; in fact, the biggest ever seen! Donnie, are you listening? And if he were a passenger, all the bigger Mr. Emperor.
Musk is blaming the Ukrainians for the X outage. IP addresses can be spoofed. Russia holds 20% of Ukraine territory. If I was Putin I would do exactly this to further disrupt the Ukraine/Russia Peace talks in Arabia giving Trump another excuse to support Putin and blame Ukraine for all the problems
So he says that they found the IP addresses in Ukraine. I don’t know much about hacking but don’t they not leave IP addresses laying around? Sounds like a set up to me.
There are no hackers. Musk is just incompetent at running a Tech company. Cut staffing and expertise to the point that they can't keep up with glitches and software bugs anymore.
Honestly I have more followers here than I did on Twitter within a few months. And I have had it since 2015 (though I used it more during 2018 or 2019).
What is shocking to me is how people accept social media platforms as something important - if it’s owned by a Nazi, there are literally no excuses to stay on exactly b/c in general social media is unimportant. Using “engagement” expecting people to take you seriously…idk it’s insane to me 🤷♂️
Same as boycotting Amazon. Unless it’s an accessibility issue, you’d be surprised at the options. Sadly one of my go-to options for accessibility was Target but ugh
I've boycotted both Amazon and Target. Sams and Google. Facebook & Instagram deleted. I have learned to live without them! I won't support companies who support Trump/Musk and their scary evil inhumane agenda worldwide!💙✌️The Revolution isn't easy, but every action counts!
I am going to hold off being offended, and assume the bird marked X and not me is the bird in question to be killed. Not that I am not willing to go down for a cause, I just want to know it will work first 😂
Hmmm. I do not like that person and heard he censored twitter. When that practice backlashed, he stepped back.
Somehow his app still provides more freedom as ever, but my g*re/call for violenece dissapers because other people do not like it and that is why I call for violence here.
Wash yourself.
I believe there was a bit of talk of treason charges but to be honest, I don't want that shi*t stain extradited here. You can't push your problems off on us! 🤣 😜
The Bird and Starlink... Tesla stocks down, the bird is a canary in the coal mine and Tesla is crashing and burning Musks only hope is Starlink which is sketchy..
You are absolutely right. I wish more people would leave X but that is not happening. Bluesky sign ups are slowing down unfortunately. Celebrities that complain about Musk, most won’t leave X.
Time to contact all the creators and companies on x and tell them to leave or you will drop them. They don't want to leave because they are afraid of missing out. It's time for them to stand by their values. We are watching.
If I, as a grandchild of those who suffered Nazism, have refused to buy and never will buy any car made by a German company that used to support the NSDAP, I think people can stop using a dumb and openly-fascist social media platform.
Be brave: dump 'X' and go and do something in the real world.
The banks that lent Musk $13B to buy Twitter have been unable to sell the debt. It’s tied up capital & limited their ability to finance other deals.
Banks are expected to lose $2B if they sell the debt. It's the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008 to 2009 financial crisis,WSJ
Yes! I wish national news media would stop using quotes from twitter: it justifies it as a legitimate news source when its not! #ShutDownX #ShutDownMusk
Couldn't they legally raise the standard to get a license to use "News" in their name? Something designation it as opinion only... But then again, expecting too much trusting MAGA to know the difference?
Aye. CNN is good enough 4 us. Alas cutting the cord from what the cable and satellite offers is alright to a point. Still, yet, most of our if not all phones need some sort of plug in to the grid. BTW is there another Ripley series coming on Netflix? Anyone? I'll check, just lazy.
The evening hosts on MSNBC are doing a pretty good job of reporting what is really going on and how serious it is. Rachel Maddow is even showing all of the protests happening, which is awesome to see.
That would leave independent journalism like the Contrarian, which is comprised of journalists that left NYT, WaPo, and the LA Times bc they refused to compromise their journalistic integrity. Jim Acosta is on his own now, too.
NPR is about as close to neutral as you get, although even they did way too much sane washing of Trump’s ludicrous statements during the election cycle.
We’d be left with the awesome indy reporters/journalists/media that have developed over the last ten years. Try @meidastouch.com, Luke Beasley, Brian Tyler Cohen…
I have a question?
Trump is reporting he is going to make a trip to China April/May, can he do that since he is a convicted FELON out on BAIL? Does he have to get permission from his probate officer? Or would this be a good time to arrest him if he doesn't get permission? Any one have an answer?
Save the world by canceling every one of Musk's contracts with the USA. Problem solved. Kick his ass to the curb. Then we can start cleaning up the mess he and his KING has caused. Donnie will be lost if he doesn't have the Musk fella by his side. PLUS the taxpayers are paying for Musk's trips.

I miss the woke bird
Just an X. Just a big, dumb, Nazi-saluting X.
Boycott Twitter, Tesla, Amazon, Home Depot, Apple, Google and all Maga supporting organizations.
Otherwise, they'll scatter into the winds and likely come to Bluesky and try to poison this place.
Otoh X gives them power, so maybe still nuke it.
Looks to the rest of us like the billionaires are just going to have to face a little "hardship"

I have 11,000 followers on Bluesky because I engage and interact with people I like.... and, as you said, make an effort to contribute

Life was better without the orange chimp online
(RIP the bird, it was innocent 😇)
I liked the Bird Man. I still do.
Be brave: dump 'X' and go and do something in the real world.
Will banks still holding that debt call his loans?
"Musk's $33.5 billion equity commitment included his 9.6% Twitter stake, which is worth $4 billion”

Not really news networks as such but things defintly informative and good for the soul:
✨Daily Show
with John Stewart
✨ The Colber(t) Repor(t)
with Stephen Colbert
and
🌈 Last Week Tonight
with John Oliver
If you left that one channel standing, after enough time even the most adamant would sit down in front of it…
And you’d see folk crawling out of their dark spaces, coming into the light, wondering what had happened.
Trump is reporting he is going to make a trip to China April/May, can he do that since he is a convicted FELON out on BAIL? Does he have to get permission from his probate officer? Or would this be a good time to arrest him if he doesn't get permission? Any one have an answer?
The only way to kill it is to permanently delete you accounts.
All or nothing kids.
