@theartlav @lulu Similarly, I kept my  fowl site account for a while, emptied out with just a pointer to my Mastodon account and joinmastodon.org ("Elon Musk's sociopathic shitshow doesn't get to profit from my tweets anymore... join us!"). I did repost my "most important #OldTwitterPosts here.

When Twitter started requiring people to log in to see most stuff, I pulled the plug completely.

@AAae @georgetakei

As did I. For me the last straw was the recent requirement to be *logged in* to be able to VIEW most posts and profiles on X. That made my empty shell of an account far less useful.

(My profile had "#ElonMusk's [with an @] sociopathic shitshow doesn't get to profit from my tweets anymore. Moved to Mastodon. Join us! joinmastodon.org" and my Mastodon link.)

Before deleting my tweets, I did grab my Twitter archive, and reposted the "most important" of my #OldTwitterPosts on here.

@thewolfspirit Now that #Twitter is rarely letting you see posts without logging in... my emptied, dormant stub of an account, with a redirect to here and a bluntly* worded profile...

"#elonmusk's sociopathic shitshow doesn't get to profit from my tweets anymore. Moved to Mastodon. Join us! joinmastodon.org"

...is a lot less useful. Time to pull the plug.

(Yes, I reposted the "most important" handful of my #OldTwitterPosts when I moved here.)

* ("Bluntly" and "sharply" are almost synonyms here! Language is fun...
And my #FowlSite account wasn't important enough to incur Musk's wrath.)

@RobJLow @andrewt Similarly for me, I wasn't seeing the hate and bigotry on Twitter (except for deliberately engaging with a homophobe once).

Leaving was my vote against Musk's promotion of that awfulness, suppression of journalists reporting on it, and enshittification of the platform.

(If I contributed content FOR FREE, the least the company could do was show a little respect and not be thoroughly evil. I reposted the "most important" of my #OldTwitterPosts here.)

#Republicans and the #gun manufacturers’ #lobbying group, the #NRA:

(Last of the #OldTwitterPosts. When I posted this at mastodon.lol in January, I wrote, “I’m gone from there!” and left only an empty shell of a Twitter account, redirecting people to Mastodon. “@ElonMusk’s sociopathic shitshow doesn’t get to profit from my tweets anymore.” Maybe it’s time to delete the Fowl Site account altogether.)

Carole Rose Livingston had it right about the pro-forced-birthers:

“I am a friend of the fetus,
A friend of incomparable worth.
I am a friend of the fetus,
Right up to the moment of birth.”
