I never used it even before he bought it.

Because I like the way Molly feels.

I have the distinction of having made my current presence on there a literal 24 hours before Musk announced he was going through with buying Twitter. By the time he was shown to be the kind of person he was, it had already become an inseparable piece of my mind and creations. If he bans me for speaking out against him, that will be a sign. Maybe this will be my speed bump.

I left a long time ago already, nothing of value to be found there anymore.

Because too few people link Nitter therefore I need to find usernames to plug in by going to Twitter. Don't have an account and never will.

I left Twitter exactly 24 days before it was rebranded to X. Let's just say I'm glad I made that move.

Deleting my account now means Musk wins.

UFOX and UFOTwitter hashtags. All other major social media are censoring the topic (including Reddit, which once was supposed to be open). Lately, Twitter started doing so too (it barely suggests ufo topics for me in the last month, even if that's the only reason I'm there), but the hashtags still work as expected. Unfortunately, on all the fediverse media, the topic is still laughed at (despite the various government admissions in the past year), and so there isn't any discussion about it. Twitter is where it's at, for that topic.

Edit: Proving my point, providing a truthful answer to the topic's question, and still been downvoted by the fediverse en mass.

Knowing what you know about USA, why are you still living there? /s

I’m there to autoblock all of Elon’s advertising.

I’m there specifically to annoy you.

Also there are people using their real names sharing their real lives for me to give a shit about. The Maui community is strong there. People disappear from Twitter and I wonder what happened. If people disappear from here I wouldn’t notice.

I don't understand, why should I care about what interchangeable capitalist owns the social media I use?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This particular capitalist is having a significant impact on that platform.

If that doesn't concern you (and it doesn't have to) then carry on with giving no shits.

It seems like your problem is that he is vocal about his views. In reality he isn't much different in his effect then Zuckerberg, or Larry Page, or Murdoc, Huffman or anyone else that controls large platforms and enforces policies that shape the "acceptable" discourse on the platform. To put it bluntly, in a capitalist society you are forced to engage with Capitalists. Trying to be "ethical" in your consumption is waste of your time.

This might be the wrong crowd to ask as I suspect Fediverse users would favor Mastodon over X.
