Also, donโt 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.
Run by a literal Nazi
It's a good day as any to move to Mastodon.
The best moment to delete your Twitter account was ten years ago. The second best is now.
"Won't somebody think of the children?!"
"Wait, no! Not like that!"
The lack of account deletions just shows how much child abuse means to them.
Already did. Years ago.
Be me: never had account, never saw why would one want to have it
Never had one.
I forgot if I still had an account. Yep but haven't used it since covid probably. Deactivated it just now, guess it will delete in 30days.
Maybe the world could stop doing any business at all with this apartheid Nazi welfare queen? Heโs trying to destroy your countries with Nazism and grift your tax dollars while selling out your privacy too
Who? A lot of people apparently. And basically all companies. And more or less all government institutions in all countries in the world.
Why dont companies and governments switch to Mastodon instead?
I think I made an account years ago (before it was acquired), never used it, and proceeded to forget the login details ๐คฆโโ๏ธ I don't even think I still have access to the email address that I used.
I'm not sure how to delete that one :(
If you haven't already quit then a whole lot of people have already made a whole lot of assumptions about your character.
Did it once that loser bought the platform. I use Bluesky.
not me looking to my left and seeing my dad using it ๐ญ
If your user name is closely tied to your online identity, I am hesitant to delete if they recycle the usernames and some total nut job takes your old handle and people think you've gone off the deep end - just a thought.
I Canada we still have "left" parties publishing on X. I wrote to them I wont be voting for a party that use a platform run by and for nazis. Just for fun, I actually ask a LLM if using X was indirectly supporting the white supremacists and it agreed that it was lol. Someone should ask Grok.
Deleted my twitter account a decade ago when I commented on a Canada Proud twitter post that resulted in months of non-stop harassment. It's always been this, they've just been turning up the heat year on year, and now people realize it's boiling.
What X account? Or Bluesky for that matter...
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.
I never had one, but I can see one single reason to keep it: Help pull over people to Fediverse.
Hadn't used my account in years. But deleted it now. It seems unlikely that the old Twitter will ever return.
What if we start referring to ๐ as "that child porn site" in a mainly neutral tone? Would that normalize it? I'd hope it would make people look inwards, but idk if ๐philes in 2026 have that capacity.
The US president would want to use such a social media platform...and he does so very frequently.
I think you know the answer...
Laughing in xcancel and opting for mastodon
X, instagram, FAcebook and, of course, Reddit.
