    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.

    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.

    Way too late to “fight” them this way, it’s already served it’s purpose for them. Everyone needed to have done this like a year ago, dummies. But yeah, still delete it anyway.

      Yeah. It served it’s purpose, he bought a mass social media outlet, let it run wild, influenced elections, spread hate and normalized even more extreme views to fuck with all the world. The damage is done. Claiming doing something good at this point when it should have been done at the early signs but everyone would call you paranoid is just non sense. Crying wolf and all that bullshit.

    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!”

    …the only way this would have fought them was before the election, now they’re in the walls, that is palliative care.

    Twitter (I will always call it that-fuck you melon head musk), is just fox news for the internet, a fascist hate app.

    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.

    I deleted Threads five days ago.

    It was a cesspool of (Russian? Troll Farm?) propaganda attacking Harris for not having any accomplishments for the last four years, complaining about housing, grocery, egg, and gas prices, “fixing” America, a crapton of pro-jesus stuff, pro-Elon comments and reposts, government money going to “illegals” instead of hurricane victims, and a ton of made up lies. …

    All of which were as transparent as fuck why they were wrong. VP’s don’t make policy, so what accomplishments should she have? Housing has been going up for a decade+, it’s not new, egg prices were normal while the pics were of organic egg prices and expensive grocery carts had hidden high cost items or just straight up lied about the cost, gas prices are the lowest they’ve been for years. Jesus stuff praised trump, America, tons of AI generated “holy” trump pics, bashed atheists, posted Elon’s BS pseudo-wisdom, Ignored the $20Bn spent on hurricane relief in favor of a few hundred million housing the undocumented workers living in the affected area…

    It was infuriating. Because they were so obviously wrong…blatantly, in-your-face, completely fucking wrong. It was a constant flood of lies. Eight out of nine posts were BS.

    But as soon as the election swung in Trump’s favor…poof…it went quiet. Hardly a peep. Gone.

    And I realize that Threads was captured completely by troll farm bots spewing right-wing propaganda. And it was a waste of time. So my account will be deleted.
