    I deleted mines yesterday. I was on there for wrestling twitter. I can’t stay on there anymore with people trying to debate the concept of consent and the AI chatbot stuff.

      I have. But back then it didn’t have vowels and you had to text the website to post.

      I did. To get an open beta key for PlanetSide 2, 14 years ago. Got the key, haven’t touched it since.

      • Heyy PlanetSide 2 player in the wild!

        I played for a bit, but my mental health always get very bad when I waste hours on it, so I think I got to like 2 months straight (I was a bored teen/young-adult lol) before I had to quit because it really fucked with my mental health for some reason…

        Like its so thrilling to troll around with the stalker + sidearm, but idk I think the atmosphere makes it depressing… the Hossin map is the most depressing atmosphere I think.

          I was lucky enough to be in a big Outfit and part of a fast drop breach team. Trained a lot together, clearing different bases and breaking down bases and pathways behind enemy lines, allowing for our main force to roll on in. Was a fun game all the time mainly for that team and social aspect. Was a lot of “Holy shit!” moments with a good unit.

        Inauthentic behaviors

        WTF. From the site “help” page:

        Inauthentic behaviors refer to actions that are not genuine or true, often involving deception or manipulation to create a false impression. This can include pretending to be someone else, using fake identities, or engaging in activities that misrepresent one’s true self or intentions.

        So… you post a dissenting point of view and they moderate you by saying “you couldn’t possibly mean that, you big faker.”

        I’d rather just be banned. This is somehow more insulting.

        Inauthentic behavior just means “speech we don’t like” aka something that’s not nazi shit or pedo shit.

    Every day, my Google news feed has at least one news story that’s a link to X. I often accidentally click but close and tell Google to block the news source as soon as I notice it’s X.

    Many are science and environmental news outlets. I don’t care. If they post to X, I tell Google to block them from my feed.

    Exactly.

    Anybody still there has been complicit with Fascism for years and loudly saying “I’m leaving X” now isn’t the Taking A Moral Stand some want to pass it as.

    At this point is fair to assume Twitter users are either Nazis, pedophiles or both.

    I’d recommend leaving Twitter without actually leaving. As in: clear out your entire profile of data, change your pfp icon/banner accordingly, and change your bio to something supporting the call to leave.

    Social media sites do well because, when people leave, the feed fills in around them and mutuals no longer know they’re gone. For added impact, set up an automated message saying why you’ve left and where to found you, or something else to that extent.

      I also think twitter is now doing the facebook thing and replacing lost users with AI bots to maintain stats. Hollowing out the account and replacing posts with nonsense is probably a way better idea than deleting the account since it will poison the AI.

        These are basically my thoughts.

        I won’t fault anyone for deleting their presence on social media, but if the goal is to disrupt the platform and perhaps start a movement for others to leave, leaving by itself won’t help.

        Connections on social media aren’t as solid as they are in real life: they’re feed-based. Your loss will be drowned out by the feed.

    I take pride in never having been there in the first place. Hell I’ve even avoided any links that would take me there.
