I know a Twitter user. He stays there for the genAI news and discussions. He tried using BlueSky, but all the AI bros got bullied off it
Good. Keep the trash confined to Twitter.
Containment platform
It still seems like a lot of bands, brands, sports clubs, even governments haven't left, so people who want to see info from them still stick around. It's pretty ridiculous when your official fire department social media account is on the same site producing deepfakes of nude or nearly nude kids.
That and instant gratification. Heaven forbid you see news 24-48 hours later about some inconsequential topic. Just imagine..

I’m proud to say I have never twittered a tweet in my twatting life
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.
I have. But back then it didn’t have vowels and you had to text the website to post.
You weren't missing much, it was basically "I'm in popular group" said a thousand different ways.
I made an account just to know when PAX tickets went on sale, but I still feel dirty.
do i get a medal for never having been there in the first place?
I gotchu bud 🥉
thanks!! 🫶😇
Is there a club? Can I join?
I saw the original 140 character limit and thought: "I need to be able to write things that amuse, explain, or matter. That's nowhere near enough." Sure, "brevity is the essence of wit" but that's too brief and I'm not that witty.

Since it's clear shame isn't working I'll happily congratulate anywho leaves Twitter in 2026. Late to the party is better than never.
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.
Easy solution to this is to stop using Google news feed.
Install NextDNS and block the domain. Also, block whatever you want. It's awesome.
To leave the nazi bar, one needs only to walk out the door. There are other non-Nazi bars right nearby.
And remember if there's a bar full of 19 Nazis plus you... it's a bar full of 20 Nazis.

Better yet, go out with glory. Get yourself banned for speaking up against Nazis, and ICE, and pedos.
That doesn't get you banned. "Inauthentic behaviors" whatever that means does, though.
Inauthentic behavior just means "speech we don't like" aka something that's not nazi shit or pedo shit.

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.
I left and deleted my account the day Elon bought it.
Me too
Honestly, anyone who still uses Twitter after the recent news has demonstrated that they are OK with CSAM, and should be treated as such.
If my like to dislike ratio is any indicate, about 12.5% of Lemmy users need to be on a list.

Pretty much everyone still on twitter is a pedo who sees the CP as a perk.
well, the chinese furry artists are still there, and man are those people kinky.
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.

I can't believe how many people are still using it and consider the "main place".

Playing. Twitter is a turn-based, text-based fighting MMOBA.
Vague memory of that one time i needed a twitter account for some reason years ago and then never used/forgot about it
Oh no
It's embarrassing that you are still there keep your humiliation fetish to yourself
For the artists/fanartists to be honest. Most of them hate Musk and X too but stay for their friends/followers. I have an account just to follow them and other fans. Also ironically many of my local grassroot environmental/humanitarian movements are active in Twitter so that's where I got my breaking news.
That's what I did to Reddit.
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 take pride in never having been there in the first place. Hell I've even avoided any links that would take me there.
