Get out, now.

Stop using Twitter. Seriously, people, stop using Twitter. It’s not going to get better.
I get that many people don’t like it and has left but I still haven’t figured out why non-twitter users are urging the rest of us to leave the platform. What do you care? Really
It seems obvious to me. Twitter has historically been used by public figures, and especially public institutions like local governments, transit agencies, etc, to make official announcements & statements. Of course having that on a centrally owned social media site was never good, but now with Space Karen making it actively hostile to users (and trying to prevent logged out users from seeing that info), it’s very bad. The sooner Twitter completes its inevitable collapse, the sooner those public figures & institutions will move to a better way to deliver those - Mastodon, RSS, webpages, whatever.
IMO it’s in the public’s best interest for all the holdouts to get out now so we can move on.

What if I hang in the art community and none of that has zero relevance to me?
I mean you still get served the ads that provide them revenue. But it’s not like I’m assigning you personal responsibility for keeping them in business, or saying you’re wrong or bad for staying. Just sharing why I want people to get off the platform quicker.
Adblocker deals with that
Your interactions still fuel the platform
Get off Twitter, stupid ass
Because it’s not even Twitter anymore. It is called X, a MLM platform for neo-nazis. By stubbornly using the platform you are keeping their dream alive.
Think of this as an IQ test. Those that pass come here, those that fail get Zuck’d, Musk’d & Spez’d.
It’s the same logic I use to justify barring all Republicans from my life: You’re either so evil that you like what’s going on, or you’re so stupid you don’t notice what’s going on, and either way, I could do without you.
the moment my Japanese artists switch over to another app, I switch. I can’t live without them 😭
Most Japanese artists have a Pixiv or Nijie account. You should be able to move most of your follows to those services.
A lot are also jumping ship to misskey.io, which you can follow if you use mastodon/pleroma/misskey/etc.
I suspect the small amount of holdouts will soon create an alternative as well.
You hear that Dungeon Masters?
Hell I got out when the sale was finalized. Anyone who’s still hanging on to that whale carcass has gotta be wondering when it’ll run out of buoyancy.

I got harassed by loons and shitheads for a poker related post. It’s no exaggeration when people call out Twitter as a cesspool that shouldn’t be financially supported by any business or individual.
Then everyone clapped
Cool, next they should remove the “log in” feature.
They won’t need it soon anyway
not trying to turn this into a contest but…
got out, over 2 years ago
Got out , weeks ago
X, the new Tramp Social.
My sincere condolences go out to Hideki Kamiya.
…oh my god. He will physically explode if he can’t block people on Twitter.
Wouldn’t he be able to easily block everyone by just leaving the platform?
Get out…months ago.
I left and deleted my account after Elon changed the algorithm to show nothing but his posts. With this decision and the many other bad decisions he’s made since buying Twitter, I’m glad I left and I frankly don’t miss it.
This will absolutely be abused and people will be harassed, but I feel this is intentional as he continues turning Twitter into a far-right echo chamber.
You could always just mute users you’re not interested in
Just block Twitter.com.
I do believe it’s x.com now /s
Community Notes jumped on that tweet fast:
If the ability to block users was to be removed, X would be in violation of the policies of the App Store as well as the Google Play Store. Potentially, this could lead to X being removed from these platforms.
X is in violation of the App store’s naming guidelines. They still managed to shove it through.
about time
Elon: DOIT, ANYWAY!
Pfft, good. I’m sure Musk’s response will be “wah, wah, they censor me, wah, wah”. Because out of any playbook of republicunt, is to proclaim you’re being censored when you’re breaking the rules and think free speech applies to just you and your allies.
Musk is walking proof some people SHOULD be canceled!

They can still do too much damage to society after being cancelled.
Better to just eat the rich.
Let’s keep them in factory farms. And plump them up, mmmmm mmm.

I wonder how much “EARN MONEY FREE” spam it’d take for them to realize blocking is a very desirable and needed feature for such a big platform.
Just stop using Twitter. There’s a half-dozen alternatives by now, Jesus Christ.
Take your time and attention somewhere else. Leave.
What do you care if people are there or not? I don’t get this mentality of as a non-twitter user urging people to leave the platform.
Because helping others out from under the influence of things that are making them stupid is good for the world in general.
As a Twitter user only there to participate in NAFO - I advise anyone else to leave the platform for Mastodon or literally any alternative. For you specifically, there’s an entire community on Pixelfed specifically for art posts. Stop giving space Karen engagement numbers.
I’m on pixelfed too but that place is basically empty compared to twitter. I also have by far the biggest following on twitter and even though I in no way profit from that monetarily it’s still much nicer posting your stuff online when there’s actually an audience.
Artstation, Pixiv, DeviantArt? Or to swap one devil for another, Instagram?
Why? I’m already settled in on twitter and dom’t have any major complaints about my experience there
Like I said, to stop giving space Karen’s site your views and engagement. A site that actively and explicitly caters to self-proclaimed Nazis and distributors of CSAM. Directly or indirectly, you are supporting and condoning their behavior by actively engaging with it.

Twitter has all the content. I want the content. Therefore I’m on Twitter until most of the content moves. In addition, I hate how most of the fediverse social media has no algorithm. The algorithm is how I found most of the content I’m interested in in the first place.
He knows that 99 percent of his users, including many of the people in this thread, will bend over and spread their ass cheeks wide in the name of “just use it for sports results” or “the people I follow aren’t on any other sites” or whatever other laughable excuses those junkies use to justify their continued presence on corpo social media sites.
Yeah, because some of the people I follow on Twitter are not on Mastodon. In fact, only like a few people have both. The content is hard to find, most instances don’t let you search

If I want to find crack, I go to the place with crack. In this case it’s actually dopamine. Most activities online are dopamine driven. We’re all addicts and it sucks that the drug dealers are giant assholes.
