Also, don’t leave your account unused, delete it. User and follower numbers count.
And least as important, reply (if necessary to another corporate mail address) every email with Twitter/X in the footer, with a kind request to stop promoting and facilitating X.
You must log in or # to comment.
X, instagram, FAcebook and, of course, Reddit.
Granted, if you have a sizable following there, you could try to get them to make Mastodon/Bluesky/… accounts to follow you off the platform first.
Of course, you should have done that years ago, but better late than never.
But if you have less than … idk, 100 to 1000 followers? You should just switch.
Much better Mastodon than Bluesky.
True, but both are much better than Twitter at the moment.
It is very silly question. Pedophiles would.
Run by a literal Nazi
In case someone thinks “Oh, he’s just an alt-right troll, he doesn’t actually believe in that stuff”, meet Elon’s grandfather:
He became involved in Canadian politics, backing the technocracy movement, before moving to South Africa in 1950. Over the course of decades, Haldeman repeatedly expressed racist, antisemitic, and antidemocratic views.[1] In South Africa he was a supporter of apartheid and promoted a number of conspiracy theories.
He also supported Technocracy, Inc and the Technate of America https://bostonraremaps.com/inventory/technocracy-inc-technate-of-america-1940/
This in turn would necessitate the abandonment of democracy and the embrace of a technocracy—government by an unelected, technically skilled, empirically-driven elite with the expertise necessary to determine values and make rational resource-allocation decisions
Sounds a lot like one of Elon’s beliefs, doesn’t it?
Strange how people who think this way never assume they’ll be one of the people on the outside, letting others make the important decisions. Whenever there’s an elite, they imagine they’ll be part of that elite.
The best moment to delete your Twitter account was ten years ago. The second best is now.
“Moment” has multiple meanings, but one meaning is a synonym of a literal second.
Every moment, then, is the (Now.InSeconds() - BestMoment.InSeconds()).ToString() + “th” best time to delete your Twitter account.
I deleted mine the day after Musk took it over, which is somewhere in the middle I think lol
Maybe the world could stop doing any business at all with this apartheid Nazi welfare queen? He’s trying to destroy your countries with Nazism and grift your tax dollars while selling out your privacy too
If you haven’t already quit then a whole lot of people have already made a whole lot of assumptions about your character.
And those people are morons so why should I care
Anyone saying that still being on X means you’re a nazi is a lunatic and should not be allowed in a debate
And then there’s others who have been judging you all, the entire time, for ever using Twitter. It was always garbage, I never understood why it took off.
Who? A lot of people apparently. And basically all companies. And more or less all government institutions in all countries in the world.
Since few weeks I’m replying to all mails with X in the footer (newsletters as well as email signature of corporate mails) to tell them it would be great if they stop promoting this crappy outlet. Concise, polite and motivated.
From roughly half of them I didn’t get a reply yet. From the other half, a MAJORITY reacts positive. We all should know, the MAIN reason most organizations are still there, is because someone decided so in 2010 (!). They never thought about it afterward, because their audience / customer ‘never asks for that’.
Be. That. Customer / Reader. Who. DOES. Ask. For. That.
That’s a very good idea. I’ll also ask them to get off Facebook as well.
I wouldn’t. Not because I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I want to let them see that specifically X became a disgusting fascist deepfake childporn abyss. Adding fb as well, increases the risk they don’t quit any of them, because it might give them the illusion my message says more about me ‘being anti social media’ rather than about X in particular.
I see your point. I’m not certain that I agree with you, but I understand what you’re saying.
You’re basically asking them to give up on a promotion avenue and hence a revenue source in favor of morals. Corporations will never do this unless leaving X somehow financially outweighs staying there.
Financially, or when their customers require so, or when damaging to their image. At least the latter two are quite influenceable.
Right so we all start asking. All the time. Loudly.
If nobody was doing it, it would be a strange thing to pay money to put in an advertising space.
It is a strange thing to put money into it, considering not even csam is enough to make at least eu institutions to go away from x.
Seems like musk can do anything he wants. What’s worse than this?
I’d argue putting it into people’s field of view could sway an individual, and if one person can be moved, more could follow.
That side already proved that boycotting works, in their disgust of a trans-indivual advertising beer, and certain groups being mortally offended that folk could suggest BDS actions towards Israel.
Already did. Years ago.
Never had one, because it always sucked.
Idk why not using hell sites is so hard for people.
“Won’t somebody think of the children?!” “Wait, no! Not like that!”
Be me: never had account, never saw why would one want to have it
I signed up years ago when quite a few TV programs I watched would make announcements on Twitter, like when new series were starting and that type of thing. I also liked the idea of following certain institutions and celebs to keep up with their announcements. I was quite disappointed when I noticed a lot of info passing me by - I had encountered the algorithm.
I hadn’t logged in for years, and thought I had deleted my account, until just now when I tried it and found it still active. So, I just deactivated it and in 30 days it will be gone for good.
You don’t like screaming your opinion out into the void?
Like
I declare bankruptcy!
Never had one.
Samezies
Why dont companies and governments switch to Mastodon instead?
Mastodon is great for certain things, but not great as a broadcast medium. A European AT Protocol implementation is a better solution https://www.eurosky.social/
They should return to RSS feeds
That’s basically what AT protocol (Bluesky) is
I think they want a bigger reach than both of us when they put out public statements.
Honestly they should get off all social media and just post announcements on their own websites not subject to billionaire influence & not having to deal with trolls.
Did it once that loser bought the platform. I use Bluesky.
@CircaV @Europellinore Personally, I’m using Mastodon over BlueSky and I wonder why it has not got the same attention as bluesky :
- It’s decentralized and you can host your own, to help with data safety
- This also prevents it from turnuing into another twitter since if that happens, you can just host an old version or fork the code and continue updating it
- It’s compatible with activitypub, so you can post and reply on Lemmy from a Mastodon account, like this one!But yeah, it’s pretty annoying to switch from one platform to another since your followers are not likely to do the same. Maybe that’s why?
I tried mastodon. I guess I didn’t try hard enough. I will revisit.
got banned before that shitshow. thankfully. only lasted a few months. Rs are so fragile.
The lack of account deletions just shows how much child abuse means to them.
And hanging out with Nazis, and…
Personally at this point I’m looking at it even more generally: anybody whose Morality is such that they’re OK with the mass murdering of children in Gaza by Zionist for the “crime” of being Palestinian (the list of just babies 1 year old or younger killed by the Israelis just in the first 3 months of the Genocide is 17 pages long) isn’t going to Morally be above “merelly” using little children for sexual pleasure or more broadly the use of violence to force other human beings to do what you want that’s the core of Fascist thinking, especially the Nazi kind.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that somebody who justifies and supports any one form of extreme Evil is going to at the very least be uncaring in the face of other forms of extreme Evil.
Well yeah, this isn’t about just sexualising a specific group of people without concent, its the fact that X is fundamentally an acid bath that corrodes everyone that touches it. Nobody is safe in this case as everyone is impacted - no matter the age or gender.
My point is that the same mindset that’s relaxed about and even excuses some practices that harm some people is also relaxed about and excuse the same and other practices that harm other people.
