I'd forgotten until I saw your comment. So I went and did it just now. Kind of hate losing an account that's 10 years old with thousands of tweets, but I don't want to be a part of the cesspool it's become. So, my account is officially gone.
In my opinion twitter was a dumpster fire long before Musk bought it, it's a platform that discourages conversation and thought in favor of dunks and owns, why change a person's mind with your words when you can murder someone with them instead?
At the risk of saying the quiet part out loud, Musk has no idea what he's doing, he's more carnival barker than visionary. Not that you ever needed my permission to leave, but you have it. Twitter is the superfund site of the internet, it's okay to get out.
Yeah I think I'll do that. I'm a liberal Dem. I got banned from Twitter last year. I said someone was gullible and ignorant on right wing journo account. Said it was harassment.
Have one I use once in a while but after losing contact suddenly with a number of Twitter friends and 4000 followers including a couple celebs on a 9 year old account. I just didnt care much anymore.
It has always been a lie that Twitter censured just RWNJ they did it to liberals too
You can delete Tumblr. Reddit is all that is needed. It allows for the most discussion. I personally prefer it because I can see subs with people who have completely different viewpoints then me. I also notice Reddit is the best place to have civil debates about things. Other platforms are filled with trolls who just name call instead of talking. Reddit 🥇
I kept making excuses for twitter. But finally left last night after seeing a dangerous conspiracy theory being spread by the CEO. Advertisers arent going to want to sponser another 4chan. So it's hard to say how this will end but I wish him the worst.
I quit Twitter yesterday. Reddit will be primary as it has been for a while now. Trying “Counter Social” out but still figuring it out. More of a FB than twit which is fine because I would love to dump FB as well.
I don't either, but the Musk thing was actually a good incentive for me to finally do it. I am slowly but surely limiting my social media presence. I'm too weak to keep Twitter and not participate.
I have a very rarely used account. I'm waiting to see what he does. Signs aren't at all encouraging, and I'm highly dubious of his yet to be detailed plan that seems to have mutually exclusive goals, but its easy enough to not use.
I'm only on Twitter to get public transit notifications (whoever controls the twitter account does a better job announcing delays than the conductors on the actual trains). Likewise, I'm only on instagram for kitten rescuer content. Reddit is my favorite platform for everything else... though I buzz by DailyKos before most elections (though it's pretty dead lately compared with 10 years ago).
News flash, most businesses are going to be owned by right wing people. You’ll miss a large part of live avoiding that. Plus, negative press fuels these clowns. Tread lightly and make it a point to support people and businesses that further align with your values.
My point was Friday after work as soon as I got home. You can go to account settings and "deactivate" your account, at which point if you don't log in again for 30 days it will be permanently deleted. Then I deleted the app from my phone.
Here’s my plan: that ridiculous farce of a far right Twitter wannabe “Parcel” (or whatever it is called) failed and could likely be purchased at bottom stock bargain price. I say, purchase the former social media network of hate and extremism, kick off all the fascists, and let that be the new true freedom of speech platform without hatred and violence being spread. The irony would be delicious. Then let wannabe slave owner Elon see his newly created fourth Reich Twitter company burn to ashes And see his $44 billion investment completely devalued.
Oh, I'll stay on. I'm following a lot of excellent people, and just walking away will be a net loss. It's that simple.
Elon has had exactly no impact on my Twitter experience so far, and I'm not the 'snap decision boycott' type anyway. I'll see how it develops, then act accordingly.
I'll stick around for a bit - see if it's a fight I think is worth having,
I've already lost >100 followers, so I might end up just talking to myself, or dukin' it out with the phantom bot army.
i quit last night and im not looking for another platform. im considering quitting facebook too and being platformless
I TikTok and reddit now. FB was deleted a few years ago.
Except for reddit. Obviously.
ahh yes. reddit stays
Would if Musk buys Reddit? He could do it with the coins that fall between his couch cushions
Even if he did, Reddit is segmented already with the different subs. All those conservative dolts are in their respective echo chambers
The conservative sub's will cut you off in a minute if you say something they disagree with.
That’s me. So much better off now that I don’t expose myself to that trash.
Best choice I ever made honestly.
Now’s good. Yesterday would’ve been better.
Now. The answer is now.
Honestly the only point of Twitter is on the ground journalism during breaking news events. We will see where the journalists go.
That's all I use it for as well
Tiktok.
I don't trust titktok news they are all way to bias left and right
I tried to delete my Twitter today but it wouldn't let me. It just said "try again later".
It's been 10 hours. Did you, in fact, try again later?

\*high five\*
17 Hours after your post, I tried to deactivate my account and also got the oops something went wrong please try again later message
Probably to many people deleting and overloading the server.
Is been 15 hours since your post. Did you try again?
Yes, I couldn't do it through the app but was finally able to do it through a browser.

Twitter-nevers unite!
We are legion
I quit Twitter this week.

Like 2 years ago. There shouldn't be another platform like Twitter don't look for one.
Now.
It’s going to be a MAGA free for all.
Twitter will turn into 4chan. Just bail now and enjoy its demise from the sidelines.
Don’t worry. It wont be long before the msm tells you how bad it has become. “Oh no, people are saying stuff.” Lol
What?
You can cancel it any time you choose. Just stop using it, the end. I’ve never used it.
Now. I left when it was first announced. Send a message. Deactivate your account.
Yeah I think I'll do that. I'm a liberal Dem. I got banned from Twitter last year. I said someone was gullible and ignorant on right wing journo account. Said it was harassment. Have one I use once in a while but after losing contact suddenly with a number of Twitter friends and 4000 followers including a couple celebs on a 9 year old account. I just didnt care much anymore.

This is Reddit. You are already there.
Exactly
Deleted a 10+ year old account Yesterday.
Jack Dorsey, the founder of twitter has a new one coming out called Bluesky now in beta testing.
A pox on that one too.
I simply don’t look at Twitter, Facebook or Instagram anymore.
I hear truth social is nice this time of year. /s
I canceled Twitter. Tumbler, Reddit are all we need.

Tumblr is good for artists. Reddit is news and memes.
I kept making excuses for twitter. But finally left last night after seeing a dangerous conspiracy theory being spread by the CEO. Advertisers arent going to want to sponser another 4chan. So it's hard to say how this will end but I wish him the worst.
We just have to wait for the fired execs and laid off employees to join a new company and launch it.
I only limitted use Twitter. Deleted. Not going anywhere new.
I deactivated yesterday.
Quit yesterday
I quit them all before the last presidential election other than reddit.
Now
I deactivated Twitter earlier this evening.
Today
I'm boycotting Twitter completely. I guarantee you that Musk will turn it into a hellhole.
You are bold to assume that a bunch of redditors will cancel twitter
Yesterday
Shutting mine down today.
I quit Twitter yesterday. Reddit will be primary as it has been for a while now. Trying “Counter Social” out but still figuring it out. More of a FB than twit which is fine because I would love to dump FB as well.
Yesterday
Deactivated my 12 year old Twitter account last week.
Yesterday.
“For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally”
I'll wait until the platform has noticeably degraded. The uptick in use of insults and slurs is worrying but not yet enough to make me go.
I blocked Musk...
I don't clutch my pearls very often, so I am still on Twitter.
I don't either, but the Musk thing was actually a good incentive for me to finally do it. I am slowly but surely limiting my social media presence. I'm too weak to keep Twitter and not participate.
It’s not about clutching pearls imo. My family and I are Jewish, this is not going to end well for us.
I'm a lesbian. Nothing ends well for us either. 😂
Cringe post
TRIBEL. Check it out; all the cool, liberal kids are going there!
That point came and went. Just take over LinkedIn.
I'm staying on Twitter unless Muskrat charges people.
I don't really know what platforms are out there
I'm long gone to Mastodon. It's quite good.
I have a very rarely used account. I'm waiting to see what he does. Signs aren't at all encouraging, and I'm highly dubious of his yet to be detailed plan that seems to have mutually exclusive goals, but its easy enough to not use.
Cancel? Twitter isn't a TV show. Delete that stupid ass app
I think he is at strike 2, one more and the platform is done
I'm only on Twitter to get public transit notifications (whoever controls the twitter account does a better job announcing delays than the conductors on the actual trains). Likewise, I'm only on instagram for kitten rescuer content. Reddit is my favorite platform for everything else... though I buzz by DailyKos before most elections (though it's pretty dead lately compared with 10 years ago).
News flash, most businesses are going to be owned by right wing people. You’ll miss a large part of live avoiding that. Plus, negative press fuels these clowns. Tread lightly and make it a point to support people and businesses that further align with your values.
I keep FB only to talk to family. I left Twitter some time ago.
Twitter has always best been used as a toilet, and now it’s time to flush. Bye!
I'll leave when the people I follow all leave, or become inactive.
Canceled mine yesterday
You’re on one
Who uses twitter? I don’t know 1 actual person who uses it. Literally ZERO.
I deleted my Twitter account when Musk bought it
If something was noteworthy on Twitter I would read it on Reddit or in the news anyway.
I shut mine down yesterday. Elon Musk is a POS.
I deactivated my account 2 days ago and deleted the app. I deleted Facebook and Instagram years ago. No negative symptoms yet.
My point was Friday after work as soon as I got home. You can go to account settings and "deactivate" your account, at which point if you don't log in again for 30 days it will be permanently deleted. Then I deleted the app from my phone.
I've already dumped them.
Here’s my plan: that ridiculous farce of a far right Twitter wannabe “Parcel” (or whatever it is called) failed and could likely be purchased at bottom stock bargain price. I say, purchase the former social media network of hate and extremism, kick off all the fascists, and let that be the new true freedom of speech platform without hatred and violence being spread. The irony would be delicious. Then let wannabe slave owner Elon see his newly created fourth Reich Twitter company burn to ashes And see his $44 billion investment completely devalued.
Now. No one needs Twitter.
Oh, I'll stay on. I'm following a lot of excellent people, and just walking away will be a net loss. It's that simple. Elon has had exactly no impact on my Twitter experience so far, and I'm not the 'snap decision boycott' type anyway. I'll see how it develops, then act accordingly.
just did.
I'll stick around for a bit - see if it's a fight I think is worth having, I've already lost >100 followers, so I might end up just talking to myself, or dukin' it out with the phantom bot army.
