Don't just "delete" Twitter as in deleting the app. Please also close your account.

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

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

[-] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 19 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

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

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Leave a negative review on the app stores

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 90 points 1 month ago

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.

People who weren't ready to listen before are now.

It's time to delete X? 🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀 Always has been.

[-] trespasser69@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Agreed

l never used *Xitter anyway

*It's pronounced as Shitter

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 61 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 23 points 1 month ago

Agreed, but still do it

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago

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?

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!"

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🫤

[-] wildflower@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 month ago

I know a lot of people still on twitter who ate firmly against fascism. I don't know why they're still on there though.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Not while you are showing them you are still on there.

[-] missphant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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. 😋

Lemme guess, this site still has a Xitter account

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago

At least they are still calling it Twitter

[-] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Deleted mine two years ago.

Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 14 points 1 month ago

I never even had an account...

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Make one just to delete it.

Cant delete xitter if I never had it

taps head

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

This should have been advised many months ago. Now it’s too late. Shithead won.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 20 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

That would require me to have X on my phone. I do not. Because I deleted Twitter when dipshit took over.

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

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

That doesn't mean leaving now isn't better than staying.

Too late, Twitter served its purpose.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Used it from 2009 until around 2013. It was so much better before it was super huge.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Can't. Even when it was Dorsey's Twitter, it was too toxic.
