IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.
To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why “Hitler was right”
… and a bunch of people continue to rub elbows with Nazis instead of deleting their accounts and moving to Mastodon. I wonder what the breaking point will be?
I’ll admit I’ve not deleted my Twitter account.
Mostly because I’ve not logged in since 2013? I think I had a single tweet, and that was a reply to some event that I was personally involved in.
Compare that to Mastodon, and I actually have followed a few people and even got into a debate about different voting systems that drew in a third party who turned it into an argument.
So mostly a wash.
Yeah, to delete the account, you have to log in, and fuck that noise
I made a purposeful effort to reset my password and login to delete my 10-yr old account. I had only followed a few people (mostly friends) and never made a tweet myself, but I’ll be damned if I would be associated with something owned by Musk. My internet sucks at home, but I refused to buy into Starkink as well.
Well, that’s gonna get solved for you pretty soon then. They’re planning to auction off handles from accounts that haven’t logged in in the last few months.
I haven’t deleted my twitter account because it’s floating in some kind of hell where I can’t sign in with my regular twitter credentials because there’s a Google account using my email (which is my account that I made), and I can’t sign in with Google either because my email is already associated with a non google twitter account (the exact same account.)
They had a way to link your Google account to your existing twitter account and something went horribly wrong.
