@billyjoebowers Be as happy as I am to be away from twitter, which has never been a democratic institution, but a corporate medium led top-down for profits, letting revenue-oriented algorithms decide who are good Twitter clients/customers & who are bad for business.
Twitter has always been the opposite of a "social medium".
And Jack has never been the social media icon he wants to be sold as today.

@WalledGarden When will folks understand, that firing half of the birdsite's staff, banning third-party apps & restoring extremist accounts on the birdsite are not just coincidental or negligent, but actions ordered by a totalitarian attention addict, who's no longer tamed by worried Tesla executives?
A sociopath, who bought himself a $44 billion private sandbox.
The birdsite has no chance for another Phoenix story.
You are the product, journos! It's only getting worse. Stop threatening and start leaving.
Staying in birdland is now a surrender to (and thereby a tacit approval of) the open fascism, white supremacy, falsity, and deadly, lunatic delusion that #ElonsFolly has embraced.
Saw where Mastadon's account got deactivated for bringing you on board.
That, my friend, gets you another follow!
That conversation is turning Mastodon's way. Mastodon is a healthy, up-and-coming, social platform that shows hate the door.
And we're not up against Brand X, but the deteriorating remnants of a once-great has-been that's charted a course down the drain. Happy swirling, dopes!
For the first two weeks while I was making the switch to Mastodon, I was promoting that others to the same, by amplifying two tags (one of which misspelled the word Mastodon as "Mastadon." Oops).
I haven't yet bothered checking if my acct is still active, now that I'm well outside Musk's latest, ironic free speech restriction. Who gives a shit about his majesty's stupid hurt feefees?
The mask has slipped, and the klan hood is on over in birdland.
And in the words of the old Palmolive commercial: You're soaking in it!
I hit it and quit with birdland as a news feed, but I've quit posting. Soon enough, I guess I'll zap the account(s), and drop the app.
Not like I'm a draw, exactly, but I don't want to provide content for a performative, Qnut, Nazi, trustafarian prick. Shit, he's even doxxing ex-employees and calling them pedophiles.
Sentence:
1. Denigrates women and LGBTQ.
2. Makes a demonstrably false accusation in re Popehat's dedication to free speech.
3. Lies about lettered agency involvement in social media platform administration.
4. Demonstrates full ignorance of the 1st Amendment.
5. Projects an accusation of fascism (pot meet the kettle in mirror); Makes a too-clever-by-half, dog-whistle admission of racism.
6. Gives permission for what is already done.
Toodle-doo trolls and #GoodRiddanceTwitter
I enjoyed your Substack piece. Musk stuffing the Qnut #StochasticTerrorPipeline and directing the business end of it at an ex-employee who hurt his stupid feelings is as good a stopping point as any.
I stopped posting/interacting when he invited Nazi Jesse Anglin back on - boosting him as well. Platforms should abide by their own terms of service in the least.
In the words of the philosopher Bruce Springsteen "Everything dies baby, that's a fact."
