Yeah, while I didn't delete my account, there's a lot of sentimentality to it since I've made it in 2015, I'm just not going back to it anytime soon, maybe in 4 years I'll get back, depends on how things are.
It's a nuclear waste site over there. Today, I made myself get set up here. I'm going to keep my acct active, drop in occasionally, and remind those resistors, still toughing it out that we're over here, and they are welcome to join us anytime. 😆💙✨️
Deleted my Twitter when I knew he was serious about buying it and haven't had a Facebook in years. Don't support companies that don't support truth and decency
been away from Twitter since Elmo bought the platform. Hope the exodus is now really one and officials and politicians who still have some interest in freedom should get off. At least in my town, 3 councillors have left. I hope they stay away too. I hope all those who say they are leaving stay away!
Only took 24 hours for archive ready to download, deactivated 1 of 2 accounts this am, other one to go tomorrow. I’m done with twitter. It was a pleasant platform once 🥲
How did you download your info from x? I’ve deleted the app and not logging back in until I’ve found a way to download list of accounts I follow and bookmarks.
I hear ya, one can barely fend off the nonstop deluges of porn bots elmo uses to boost his fragile manchild-ego.. And of course the racist/nazi sh*tstains..
I didn't leave twitter because the arguments and hate got to me.
I left because I couldn't go another moment knowing I was in some way contributing to that waste of a humans platform.
Did the same thing Wednesday. blue sky is so much more relaxed. Hoping it stays that way for awhile. Or at least it will be easier to block the hateful people
Meta is a whole different monster! I don’t use anything from Meta. They violate privacy, even of those that don’t use Meta (Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook).
Look at my browser… Safari blocked numerous attempts by Meta to track me!
Facebook is tough. Almost all of my IRL friends are there and it’s the only way we interact anymore, sadly. The only promising alternative was Google+. I don’t know if it’s even possible to pry people loose from there at this due to the pervasive nature of its connections.
Any numbers yet?
Maybe more of us should boycotted CNN & MSNBC.
I left them or tremendously cut back a while back.
They could have reminded us all day about tfg's failures, crimes and threats. He wants to shoot protesters & the press, FFS.
Hell, I boycotted my local news, owned by Heritage.
You know the best part? Even better than costing Elon money?
Those left on X are apparently having a meltdown over all us "snowflakes" coming here instead AND that we went to an app where we can filter them out if they show up!
So lonely to be a magat if there's no one to harass or talk to!!!
If there is one thing I have learned about internet and social media for the ~25 years. Whenever there is supposed to be "mass-exodus" or whatever, it ain't gonna matter. Because the average person doesn't care, and ain't gonna do anything. Their circles are still there and so are they.
The only way a platform dies is:
1. The scandal avoiding advertisers bail out;
2. Payment processors stop working with the service, usually because of porn-adjecent matters.
3. The platform just stagnates and withers away, until one day without ceremony the site just 404s
Proof? MySpace still exists
I ended it today. It doesn't bother me one bit. Musk was manipulating who you could and couldn't talk to. We were getting squeezed. Now he and the orange asshole can play by themselves.
Now if I could just get some other option for home internet and ditch Starlink.. I have been hearing broken promises of “expanding broadband” for 20 years and it never happens. I live less than 2 miles from a major college and there are about 75 homes in my neighborhood.
Thank you! And I'm Swedish, at one point my teacher told me to choose between spelling things in English English or US English, and I went with the original flavour. ;)
So your telling me that having a large collection of platforms that foster communities that can interact and coexist while maintaining there independents is a good thing¿ wow
Literally just started account, left twitter inactive years ago found it deactivated after X, good riddance. At least with everything going on I wanted new way to communicate to outside world
I think having been on X for so long -- going back to when it was Twitter -- old habits die hard.
People convince themselves that if they stay on X, they can fight the 'good fight'.
There's point now. Elon's created a cesspool.
One thing that really helps train your brain to stay away from X/Twitter is to either delete the app completely, or move Bluesky to whatever place on your phone that twitter once occupied. That way, muscle memory doesn't betray you.
Yep we always hope we can make things better but…. when a multi billionaire with very strong political views owns something- they will do everything in their power to own your mind too 😢 Been here a few hours & it already seems a kinder place to be x
Yep I'm one of them ... I'm so glad I don't know anyone that drives a Tesla :)
I can't give money/time/exposition to Musk
Fuck this man !

It’s already insane over there and Trump hasn’t even become president yet. Imagine what it will be like when that misfortune comes around. 🤢
No, I just gotta go back there and push the buttons and stuff to delete it, etc.
Hopefully much, much less of that shiz here!

Looks good so far here.
My first day here and I don't miss Twitter one bit yet.

They can have it.
It's something that I'd like to keep tabs on.
Reinforce the message that there is a viable alternative.

I meant to say - have boycotted them earlier.

Not that it will make much difference. His fortunes on Wall Street this week added billions more to his wealth.
However what goes up like a rocket also comes down like a rocket.

He lied on his app for citizenship, communicates with our enemies, and distributes anti-American propaganda.
His investment has already paid off for him.
Exodus!
Movement of Jah people!
Oh-oh, yeah!

Fuck Elmo.
I had 25K followers there, but I could not see being on a site full of Musk Bots spreading misinformation.
(Yah, I'm Canadian so we kept the 'u' in many words. lol!!)
