Don’t just “delete” Twitter as in deleting the app. Please also close your account.

Very important distinction. I’ve deleted the apps long before, thinking i’d keep the account to occasionally look at someone’s feed. When they publicly reinstated neonazi accounts, it was the last drop in the ocean

If you merely abandon your account, the change can be seen in the MAU statistics. If you delete it instead, you’ll make sure you won’t slip in the future. Either way, investors care about the active users, because the total number of accounts isn’t a very useful number to them.

Link your account to some bot posting gibberish every 10 minutes. For maximum damage.

You didn’t do that a couple of years ago when Musk decided to push his own posts and right wing content to the top of everyone’s feed? I dropped twatter that same day.

Mastodon works well, tell your twatter refugee friends.

It’s past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn’t be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, “Whoops! I was supporting fascism!”

To be fair, I’ve been on there calling the fascists and Trump apologists out. The pennies they get from ads pale in comparison to the fact I bought a Tesla years ago womp womp 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🫤

Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won’t even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.

Yup. Here’s what I did:

  1. recommend others not vote for him in 2016
  2. didn’t vote for him in 2016
  3. avoided TruthSocial and other nonsense during his first term
  4. encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2020
  5. didn’t vote for him in 2020
  6. continued to avoid TruthSocial
  7. encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2024
  8. didn’t vote for him in 2024

See a pattern?

Truth Social wasn’t launched until 2022 during the Biden presidency.

Was it? Huh, I guess I avoided it thoroughly enough to not remember when it launched.

Yup, voted each time. Didn’t matter though, my state’s elections are almost never competitive. But it only took a few minutes and I voted at home, so at least I didn’t spend all afternoon in line.
