Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts

Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian

Sorry for #BirdSiteBullshit, but…

I used that site for a couple of minutes today, because I was curious re: the name change and all that… and everything I can say is:

People who are still regularly on there, how the fuck do you live with yourselves?! This has become just such a cluster fuck of ads and stuff I don’t follow, that it isn’t even fun on today of all days where everyone is dunking on the stupid new name/logo. Baffling.

Why is the ending to the headline “Mark Zuckerberg is ready to fight Elon Musk” not “to the death”!?! #BirdSiteBullshit

I think I really need to give this app a try. I'm ashamed to say #Twitter is my favorite app. I am so active on there, and I have so many friends. But today, I got this..

I have never in my lifetime had any of my social media accounts suspended.. EVER..

Ever since Elon took over, the app has gradually gone downhill. He promotes hate and filters #trans and #lgbtq people through algorithms..

So, here I am.. What's this app all about? #birdsite #birdsitebullshit #birdsitemigration

“Twitter is now only worth a third of what Melon Husk paid for it” -- IT WAS NEVER EVEN WORTH THAT THIRD, HEADLINE WRITER! #BirdSiteBullshit

Just because some idiot made a weed joke and got suckered into a binding contract because of it, doesn’t make the “money” that “changed” hands suddenly produce worth out of nothing, jesusfuckingchrist.

#Mastodon peeps:
I know it's in my profile, here, but I guess I need to #repeat myself here.
IF THE VAST MAJORITY OF YOUR ACTIVITY ON MASTODON IS BOOSTING OTHER PEOPLE'S TOOTS WITHOUT CONTRIBUTING ANY OF YOUR OWN THOUGHTS THEN PLEASE DO #NOT SEND ME A FOLLOW REQUEST.
I am here to communicate and interact with #people. If I wanted to get involved in the #HateSpeech, #HalfTruth, #BirdsiteBullshit, I'd BE on #twitter
I do not care to read about what other people think based on your #boosts. I am here to interact with #individuals, and I do not need boost after boost after boost after boost diluting my timelines and reducing the SNR to an unmanageable level - like on twitter.

All the people on Twitter complaining that Elon now floods everyone’s timelines [or at least the new FYP] with his own tweets seem to not realise one crucial thing: You can just block the dude.

I’m sure at some point he will clock that fact himself and make his account unblockable, but until that day I wish everyone would just do themself this favour. #BirdsiteBullshit

On the topic of #BirdsiteBullshit: They seem to have broken 3rd-party app access tonight.

Since I sure as shit am not gonna use any official client or the website on a regular basis, I guess I’m finally free!

I just deleted about 30 (auto-)tweets from my early #Twitter days that I 100% deleted _years_ ago… as evidenced by my Twitter archive I requested in November, where they aren’t present.

WTF? #BirdsiteBullshit
