The 100% tariff on Teslas is a great idea. they should absolutely do that asap. Canada should also cut all ties with Starlink and SpaceX and all other Musk owned businesses. treat america like it was putin's russia. that's what will need to happen. - ThreadSky

also if you are still on twitter, at all, you are directly supporting fascism. youre not working within it, youre not fighting anything, youre providing material support to an autocrat. I dont care how many ppl you reach, your friends list, your history, your opinions. using twitter = MAGA.

grumpyburr.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah. I somehow stuck around for years but as soon as musk did his little seig hail at the inauguration i couldn't stand being associated with that white supremacist shit pile.

deerfloat.bsky.social•18 days ago

Still using Twitter the worst display of selfishness comparable to the covidiots spreading disease.

goodboyliger.bsky.social•17 days ago

If there is one thing I'm not it's a fucking MAGA turd. Meant to do this last month after dropping my last YCH, but forgot since I've been so busy and I haven't actively posted there for some time.

So yeah, Thanks for the reminder friend. =^.^=

I don't really use it anymore. I've been going through my old tweets to save what I wanted to keep, and I think I'm pretty much done with that.

Now I'll just let it sit.

bonusbun.bsky.social•14 days ago

I thought about doing that but leaving content on there still makes them money through engagement so I opted to nuke all my accounts rather than let them sit.

glennikit.bsky.social•14 days ago

I'm almost done deleting all of my posts from 2024 to 2014 - it's a long one, but at least it removes their ability to get engagement out of it. Again, I'm a little scared of someone impersonating me, so for now I'll leave it locked, and of removed of content as much as possible. ^^;

bonusbun.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, by “nuke” I mean I emptied them but left the accounts intact. I used a script which got one of them suspended, so doing it manually is probably safer. I’m less worried about impersonation there because anyone who knows who I am knows I’d never post there at this point.

glennikit.bsky.social•14 days ago

Hmmm, that would have been useful before I started this. XD

glennikit.bsky.social•18 days ago

Though I will admit it is kinda fun to just delete stuff that gets likes out of spite. :p

cargoweasel.com•18 days ago

it is time to get serious. it is time to consider contributing content and attention to twitter the same as using 4chan or KF. any furries still active there need to rethink it, even if they have a million bajillion followers or whatever.

cargoweasel.com•18 days ago

"but my commissions as a furry artist rely on it" no, they rely on wherever you post your art the most. you will still get commissions on other sites. also other sites will not actively work against you to suppress your reach so a larger % of your audience will see your work.

"but visibility" the fuckin site doesn't even show your posts in order to folks who aren't logged in

cargoweasel.com•17 days ago

also if you have 10K followers on twitter, maybe 1000 of them are actual active accounts and the rest are bots, or dormant accounts

I find I get a lot more engagement (Favs, comments, and DMs) on FA than I do on Twitter and Bluesky combined and I have fewer followers on FA than I do on BSK or Twit individually.

They argue that their audience is on Twitter, but don't do anything to bring that audience here.

Their audience won't move if there's no incentive to do so, and they're not providing an incentive to do so.

It can be as simple as posting here earlier and letting folks know they post here earlier.

diothetuatara.bsky.social•18 days ago

Tried to explain this to someone after we implemented a “no twitter links” rule in our discord and they just would not get it. Too afraid to take the leap. It’s very sad the state that we’re all in right now.

cadencecivet.bsky.social•18 days ago

90% of the time it’s “But My Following”

xydexxunicorn.bsky.social•18 days ago

They don't make the connection that the people following them will also follow them on another site.

Yeah, building a following takes work. The best time to start moving off Twitter was two years ago when everyone else was jumping ship. The second best time is now.

cadencecivet.bsky.social•18 days ago

“Stop being such a goddamn baby and JUMP already or forfeit your right to complain”

kronogarrett.bsky.social•18 days ago

*Any* engagement at all on Twitter props up the metrics that Space Karen depends on to keep his financial scheme plates spinning. Even lurking. I'll probably nag a few holdouts with the listening post I was maintaining and pull the plug for good soon enough.
