This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X

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.

You did vote though? Right? Right?

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

Because, as an example, some very important services communicate solely through Xitter. Emergency alerts, fire depart, governmental bodies, etc. Do I despise that? Yes. Do I ask them to move? Yes. Are they? Hell no.

For a lot of marginalized people Twitter was a place to escape to and find like-minded people, I can see how it's hard to make a new place feel as homely. Most of us here left another site because we didn't agree with the leadership so it's a very biased group, "just do the same thing we did". Not everyone is in as privileged of a position though and it might be way harder for them to leave than you can imagine, especially if they're addicted to it.

who ate firmly against fascism

Eat the rich. 😋

"I can fix him"

So because there aren't other options that are as good for your personal interests, you are OK with using a fascist supporting platform. But somehow you think it's unfair to say you are sort of OK with fascism, since you are using a clearly fascist supporting platform.

You know, that's called compromising your ideals for convenience. And if you are American you got what you deserve with Trump.

Ooohh if it's for MUSIC I guess it's OK to be a fascist.
But you know the bands go where teir followers are right? And he is supporting bands that ALSO don't have a problem with fascism.
It goes both ways.

What if a band had very vocal Nazi beliefs even lyrically, would you still like them because the music was good? Lol that is you.

Seriously? It's a social media site that openly support and spread right-wing misinformation, how is that comparable? People have no say in where they where born, and not all have the luxury of packing everything and move to another country, supporting a social media site is a choice.

...but there are no such communities there

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ;-)

If you are a major contributor in a niche community, you can publicize your move with info of how to keep following you and syndicate links to your content on your desired platform for a set time then leave. On your desired platform let followers from Xitter know how to follow you (email, rss, bridgy, etc) if they don't want to join your desired platform.

If you are mostly a content consumer or have FOMO, use a bridge not an account. DM all the friends you want to keep of where to find you then leave. Bird.makeup is a great Xitter bridge for the fedi.

In either case, there isn't a reason to keep am account there.

that have no contact with politics

Ergo they are not against fascism. Which means they are OK with it, because they don't care either way.
Good job, you just helped prove the point.

Except everything is related to politics. The price of the bread is politics. The roads made, politics too. Having to pay the doctor or not, politics.

Politics is not "what the politicians do". It's "affairs of the cities", from Ancient Greek πολιτικά (politiká). And everything that affects more than one person is an "affair of the cities".

Stats don’t care if you are or aren’t, you are +1 to the equity that Twitter uses to get money through advertisers, which gets funnelled to Elon and his interests, and now Trump. This leads to reducing your overall opportunities through fascism that contribute to you finding comfort in what your dealer is supplying you. Quit hitting yourself.

No but apparently you don't think that it is that big of a deal?

Not really

You really should encourage your contacts to use more secure channels than Twitter dms, especially for illicit behavior.

LMAO 😂

At least they are still calling it Twitter

Make one just to delete it.

I only have one to read stuff locked behind a login wall. But even for that I seldom use it.

as someone who made their own instance, talk about it to family and friends and try to convince them to jump on mine, I definitely have not given up. your completely valid talking points are null and void unfortuntately, my social circles are unable to get people they interact with to jump ship as well. they just want their family and friends to see their posts and don't really care what's going on behind the scenes..

Its me trying to convert people to use signal all over again, but i won over many of my colleagues and family by telling them to jump on signal as my birthday gift years ago..... maybe I'll have people sign up as a Christmas gift for me this year lol

I just tried that...went searching for a room and amongst some software package rooms the two I stumbled upon that made me nope the fuck out are "COVID-19 truth" or similar, and some pro-trump mafia thing that had the n-word in its description. I tried to search for something even in the state of california and the closest I got was a gay hookup channel.

Thanks, I fucking hate the Internet now.

Have you tried being in my own imagination land?
