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!”
To be fair, I’ve been on there calling the fascists and Trump apologists out. The pennies they get from ads pale in comparison to the fact I bought a Tesla years ago womp womp 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🫤
This should have been advised many months ago. Now it’s too late. Shithead won.
Deleted mine two years ago.
Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.
Lemme guess, this site still has a Xitter account
It does indeed.
LMAO 😂
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?
Truth Social wasn’t launched until 2022 during the Biden presidency.
Was it? Huh, I guess I avoided it thoroughly enough to not remember when it launched.
You didn’t do that a couple of years ago when Musk decided to push his own posts and right wing content to the top of everyone’s feed? I dropped twatter that same day.
Mastodon works well, tell your twatter refugee friends.
That would require me to have X on my phone. I do not. Because I deleted Twitter when dipshit took over.
At this point in time, anyone left on the platform formerly known as Twitter, is either a fascist, or at least think that fascism isn’t that big a deal.
That’s complete and utter nonsense.
There are groups of people using it that have no contact with politics or anything out of their sphere of interest. I am in a couple of such groups.
I would love to go somewhere else and I am on lemmy, mastodon even bluesky, but there are no such communities there.
that have no contact with politics
Ergo they are not against fascism. Which means they are OK with it, because they don’t care either way.
Good job, you just helped prove the point.I understand you are hurt and angry.
But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world, that have no desire to observe the grotesque circus of american politics. You are in your own bubble of people that think the world has ended, but most people in the world have different worries and concerns.
I understand you are hurt and angry.
That’s ad hominem.
But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world
That doesn’t change anything, whatever country you are from, using Xitter means you are using and thereby supporting a fascist platform.
You are in your own bubble
OK, and which bubble is that?
Seems to me that the ones in a bubble are those that continue to use Xitter, oblivious to it supporting fascism, or accepting that it does. Now THAT’s being in a bubble.I see that the emotional level is too great for any discussion. Good luck to you, I hope you get a moment for yourself and have a nice rest of the day.
Good bye.
I see you are unable to actually argue your point, and instead choose to continue with the ad hominem.
I’m still interested to hear what bubble it is you consider me to be in?I’m just gonna go ahead and say it:
You need to touch grass as in pronto
I don’t have any skin in this game but just want to point out that “I understand you are hurt and angry” is an attempt to empathize with you, and not an ad hominem fallacy.
He/She doesn’t understand anything, he/she doesn’t know me.
If the comment was along the lines of: I understand IF you are hurt and angry, it would be different and not presumptuous. But that he continues with: “But you have to understand…” Like he is talking to a child, confirms the interpretation of an ad hominem IMO."
But thanks for pointing out a possibly poorly worded good intention. But the way he wrote it, it looks like an ad hominem to me.
You don’t just get to call any words that you don’t like, or even words directly attacking you, an ad hominem. A statement is only an ad hominem if 1) it’s attempting to refute an argument 2) by attacking the character/motive of the person making the argument INSTEAD OF the actual content of the argument. “Your argument is wrong because you’re an idiot” is an ad hominem. What the other commenter said to you is not. Note that people claiming “ad hominem” on statements that are not are sometimes said to be committing an “ad hominem fallacy fallacy.”
Bullshit. I have an account on X since it was Twitter. No post, no followed people, no follower. I don’t use my timeline. I just use it because many dealers use it as a channel to communicate with customers through DM. I’m a a fascist?
Stats don’t care if you are or aren’t, you are +1 to the equity that Twitter uses to get money through advertisers, which gets funnelled to Elon and his interests, and now Trump. This leads to reducing your overall opportunities through fascism that contribute to you finding comfort in what your dealer is supplying you. Quit hitting yourself.
this is an UNHINGED leap… so by that logic anyone living in america supports killing “foreign” civilians, bombing cities etc etc???
Seriously? It’s a social media site that openly support and spread right-wing misinformation, how is that comparable? People have no say in where they where born, and not all have the luxury of packing everything and move to another country, supporting a social media site is a choice.
That’s just not true. My mate uses it to follow music bands they like. The problem we have with X is that everybody uses it so you have to use it you wanna stay in the loop. I don’t use I myself but i can understand why people still do.
What if a band had very vocal Nazi beliefs even lyrically, would you still like them because the music was good? Lol that is you.
Ooohh if it’s for MUSIC I guess it’s OK to be a fascist.
But you know the bands go where teir followers are right? And he is supporting bands that ALSO don’t have a problem with fascism.
It goes both ways.People were already on twitter before some right wing weirdo bought it. They just kept using it because the reality is normies don’t know better or don’t care. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but saying every X user is a fascist seams an oversimplification.
saying every X user is a fascist seams an oversimplification.
That’s a straw man, nobody I saw here claimed that. The claim is that they don’t mind fascism. Which is not the same.
You can take a country with only 10%, if the remaining 90% remain passive. Staying at Xitter is remaining passive about their fascist propaganda.
It’s time to delete X? 🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀 Always has been.
Agreed
l never used *Xitter anyway
*It’s pronounced as Shitter
Don’t just “delete” Twitter as in deleting the app. Please also close your account.
Link your account to some bot posting gibberish every 10 minutes. For maximum damage.
