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.
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.
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!"
At this point in time, anyone left on the platform formerly known as Twitter, is either a fascist, or at least think that fascism isn't that big a deal.
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.
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.
Sure, do it for your mental health, but it won’t do anything else now. That ship has sailed, been torpedoed, and is now chilling at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
I have never used the app anyway. I used Flamingo and when they killed 3rd party apps I've just been using browser instead. Lets me block ads that way too.
edit: im on bluesky and mastodon and I don't like twitter. I have to specify it because this website is reddit.
the idea that deleting one of your social media accounts will have any effect on donald trump or elon musk is some starship troopers "I did my part!" meme gif garbage. you did nothing for your country by doing this. it's not a civil deed. you didn't fucking vote. it isn't a protest.
you imagine you have politics while you jerk yourself off into a toilet.
