This should have been advised many months ago. Now it’s too late. Shithead won.
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.
Agreed, but still do 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 did vote though? Right? Right?
Yup, voted each time. Didn’t matter though, my state’s elections are almost never competitive. But it only took a few minutes and I voted at home, so at least I didn’t spend all afternoon in line.
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 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🫤
Lemme guess, this site still has a Xitter account
It does indeed.
LMAO 😂
At least they are still calling it Twitter
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.
That would require me to have X on my phone. I do not. Because I deleted Twitter when dipshit took over.
Dipshit is my 2024 favourite word.
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.
I only have one to read stuff locked behind a login wall. But even for that I seldom use it.
Delete your account :)
Can’t. Even when it was Dorsey’s Twitter, it was too toxic.
If you are still on X yet couldn’t bring yourself to vote for Kamala because of Palestine then WTF?
Haha and as a reward you get Trump. Watch how that works out for Palestine. Idiots
Because you hate Palestine?
Sure, do it for your mental health, but it won’t do anything else now. That ship has sailed, been torpedoed, and is now chilling at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
give up social media? nah that’s too hard for people lol.
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.
as someone who made their own instance, talk about it to family and friends and try to convince them to jump on mine, I definitely have not given up. your completely valid talking points are null and void unfortuntately, my social circles are unable to get people they interact with to jump ship as well. they just want their family and friends to see their posts and don’t really care what’s going on behind the scenes…
Its me trying to convert people to use signal all over again, but i won over many of my colleagues and family by telling them to jump on signal as my birthday gift years ago… maybe I’ll have people sign up as a Christmas gift for me this year 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.
Maybe Facebook is the right place for some people.
Are you saying for me? Cuz facebook sucks ass too.
I remember the old Internet. Honestly, lemmy is the only thing I’ve encountered that feels even like the newer part of the old Internet.
Never signed up for Twitter and definitely not X. Leon can give to his pals in Moscow.
Better late than never I guess.
That’s nice. But you should get a gun. Much more effective fighting method than deleting an app.
vance first, then trump!
more lame extremist nonsense. you aren’t going to shoot anyone but some loads into a sock. pipe down
I never used X. I did half-assedly make an account in 2013 but I have long since deleted it. I have no real use for twitter.
