I’m noticing a lot of real account deactivations on Xitter. These aren’t bots - people are voting with their feet.
I’m seeing alot of “they’ll be back in a few weeks” but it feels like this exodus is different.
People are fed up & want to build something better.
If you left - will you go back?

The people who give SM sites life, sparkle, joy, intellectual stimulation are overwhelmingly lefties. Same as in movies, TV, theater.
So there will be nothing to go back to.
This feels like a MySpace moment for Xitter.
No, won't be back anymore than I'd go back to Facebook, which I left around 7-8 years ago.
But also its just much nicer now that more of my friends are here.
Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.
I want to know what they are up to. I want to keep fighting it. I want to see it coming.
Walking away will make them feel invincible. Very dangerous.
I won't delete my account because I'm petty and don't want anyone taking my old handle but I'm nuking a decade's worth of content.
It’s Musk, why would anyone eat at a restaurant where the owner openly spits in your food?
He bought it for a reason, money that was well spent in his mind. We never factored into this as users or clients.
So much of twitter is just unchecked nastiness..
I’m slowly disassociating myself from there.
It’ll be hard to turn off the lights - but it’s a shell of what it once was
I simply could not trust him on almost everything.
(a) I wouldn't believe him and (b) Xitter is just an abusive relationship now.
Fittingly, the final notification was a follow from a porn bot
I'm done
Pretty sure it’s not a coincidence that it’s difficult to delete your account right now.
I know some people had them thrusted upon them without a choice… but many ARE paying.
And I hate that we are losing that incredible knowledge base b/c people are deleting content. I get it, but I wish there were a way to save it.
