Haven't posted on X since late last year, but put off deactivating my account. The legacy of the time I spent on it & the great connections & friends I made there, I guess. But, to hell with that, just went ahead & finally got rid of my account. Bye, bye nazis & racists & trolls & bots & porn - ThreadSky

Frankly, it felt like the least I could do, given the slow motion coup that Musk is helping to stage in the US. I'm in Australia & I can't really do anything much to help American friends struggling against what is going on, but I can do that.

Opened it today because I’d heard a Dub I’d followed and been followed by since
pre COVID married yesterday. The notification containing their happy photo was sandwiched between a racist ‘joke’ & a fetish bot. Congratulated the happy couple and deleted the app. Can’t be dealing, as the spouse says.

Feel leaving Twitter now is like being on the last train out of Paris in ‘Casablanca.’

God yeah. The last couple of Marines just discreetly tiptoed out of the room where they were keeping people waiting and made a break for the embassy roof…

Yes! I finally did that too last week! So relieved to be rid of it.

I found that deleting the app off my phone was not only a cathartic act, but also improved my battery life considerably - even though I barely ever opened it anymore. Good riddance.

Finally did this on New Year's Eve. No regrets

It’s so sad that we’ve lost the work and connections we invested in the platform for a decade or more but it’s just untenable now.
