Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won’t even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.
Yup. Here’s what I did:
- recommend others not vote for him in 2016
- didn’t vote for him in 2016
- avoided TruthSocial and other nonsense during his first term
- encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2020
- didn’t vote for him in 2020
- continued to avoid TruthSocial
- encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2024
- didn’t vote for him in 2024
See a pattern?
Better late than never I guess.
If you are still on X yet couldn’t bring yourself to vote for Kamala because of Palestine then WTF?
give up social media? nah that’s too hard for people lol.
Find a small community of like-minded friends to hang with online.
Hell, I only visit Reddit and Lemmy for the big news for a few minutes before heading off to check discord and matrix chats and everywhere else I go.
Branch out.
I just tried that…went searching for a room and amongst some software package rooms the two I stumbled upon that made me nope the fuck out are “COVID-19 truth” or similar, and some pro-trump mafia thing that had the n-word in its description. I tried to search for something even in the state of california and the closest I got was a gay hookup channel.
Thanks, I fucking hate the Internet now.
Not give up. Just move away from corporate owned social media which generally has biases baked in and allows for easy manipulation by the company. The one we’re on right now is not one of those and there are lots of other alternatives. Not that they’re perfect, just that money and especially wealthy individuals aren’t able to easily and singlehandedly manipulate millions of people by purging factual but dissenting information.
It’s past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn’t be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, “Whoops! I was supporting fascism!”
that’s the stupidest shit ive heard in 2 days
wow you must’ve not read any of your comments out loud then
Deleted mine two years ago.
Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.
I never even had an account…
Make one just to delete it.
That’s nice. But you should get a gun. Much more effective fighting method than deleting an app.
more lame extremist nonsense. you aren’t going to shoot anyone but some loads into a sock. pipe down
vance first, then trump!
Lemme guess, this site still has a Xitter account
It does indeed.
At least they are still calling it Twitter
LMAO 😂
Way too late to “fight” them this way, it’s already served it’s purpose for them. Everyone needed to have done this like a year ago, dummies. But yeah, still delete it anyway.
Yeah. It served it’s purpose, he bought a mass social media outlet, let it run wild, influenced elections, spread hate and normalized even more extreme views to fuck with all the world. The damage is done. Claiming doing something good at this point when it should have been done at the early signs but everyone would call you paranoid is just non sense. Crying wolf and all that bullshit.
Just remembered I still had one…
Anyway, Goodbye fuckers
I deleted Threads five days ago.
It was a cesspool of (Russian? Troll Farm?) propaganda attacking Harris for not having any accomplishments for the last four years, complaining about housing, grocery, egg, and gas prices, “fixing” America, a crapton of pro-jesus stuff, pro-Elon comments and reposts, government money going to “illegals” instead of hurricane victims, and a ton of made up lies. …
All of which were as transparent as fuck why they were wrong. VP’s don’t make policy, so what accomplishments should she have? Housing has been going up for a decade+, it’s not new, egg prices were normal while the pics were of organic egg prices and expensive grocery carts had hidden high cost items or just straight up lied about the cost, gas prices are the lowest they’ve been for years. Jesus stuff praised trump, America, tons of AI generated “holy” trump pics, bashed atheists, posted Elon’s BS pseudo-wisdom, Ignored the $20Bn spent on hurricane relief in favor of a few hundred million housing the undocumented workers living in the affected area…
It was infuriating. Because they were so obviously wrong…blatantly, in-your-face, completely fucking wrong. It was a constant flood of lies. Eight out of nine posts were BS.
But as soon as the election swung in Trump’s favor…poof…it went quiet. Hardly a peep. Gone.
And I realize that Threads was captured completely by troll farm bots spewing right-wing propaganda. And it was a waste of time. So my account will be deleted.
If you didn’t deleted it like 5 years ago chances are that you won’t be deleting it now or in the future.
Used it from 2009 until around 2013. It was so much better before it was super huge.
…the only way this would have fought them was before the election, now they’re in the walls, that is palliative care.
That doesn’t mean leaving now isn’t better than staying.
