That so many of you carry on posting on X encapsulates the problem with authoritarianism. Many people hate it but aren't prepared to make even the tiniest personal sacrifice to oppose it [like foregoing the fun of shitposting on the authoritarian propaganda website].

I got off Twitter shortly post Oct 7 23 when some crazy person posted that perhaps Hitler wasn’t so bad… that tweet still haunts me… I just don’t get why a’one would voluntarily stay on a site like this
It's not just Twitter here. And people are WAY too addicted to social media to give all that up
I lost followers....
I don't care.
It's just my decision.
Walk away and deprive him of the publicity and the attention he craves, is my philosophy!
But the only place to 'shitpost' here is nazi Newsmax. Very temporary therapy for me, but useless otherwise.
I'd delete it entirely but there's a couple of UA lists that I follow there because those people aren't here (and ads don't show on lists).
He is still on Twitter because he has ten times the audience there and can attract more gullible idiots to his paying stuff elsewhere
Yes, bitch, you can!! Just tell them you are moving to Bluesky and ask them to follow you
There must be millions who viscerally hate Musk with a passion still on there, yet can't give up a fkin app to oppose these fascists as a small act of defiance.

I came to BSky after the election, unfollowed most ppl on X and encouraged everyone to join the Xodus
I also post links on X to posts I make on BSky and in group DMs with people I know
Got rid of everything META (never had X) in one day, after linking for a week with friends and family to get phone numbers and alternate connections.
I was on FB since 2006 (!) and living in Silicon Valley. Make the goddamn sacrifice.
Same goes for quitting things like FB, instagram, WhatsApp, amazon, shopping at Whole Foods, target, Walmart, https://et.al. It’s a minor inconvenience to make these changes compared to the horrors awaiting us with fascism.
I AM though, one of those who miss shitposting at felon47 and others. An outlet for anger no more.
Being on X is endorsing fascism.
move. I had to remove the app from my phone.
In this light, "doing it for the lols" seems both short-sighted & self-injurious.
For a country that prided itself on innovation & diversity of thought, this approach is found wanting.
Musk would probably just boost the shit, if someone decided to appear as a person he didn't like and posted gnarly stuff to cause mayhem.
Luckily, I'd say the whole platform is soon either gone or taken over by someone else.
