Paris mayor quits X, calling social media site a ‘gigantic global sewer’

Anne Hidalgo, whose opponents have used the platform to criticise her, cited disinformation and antisemitism as reasons for leaving

The Guardian

I had two Twitter/X accounts. One I had only for the last three or four years. (I got my first Mastodon account more than five years ago.) The other Twitter account I had for fifteen years.

I've deactivated them both.

And about time. I hadn't used either since their emuskulation. But that wasn't enough, and I've no wish to associate with that platform at all now. I don't even click on Tweets in news reports anymore.

Y’know, I’ve been on Mastodon for a little over a month now and I feel like I have finally achieved just the right mixture of earnest posts from random people I wouldn’t otherwise know, newsie posts from newsie people, and utter unbridled nonsense from wonderful people who should also probably be in therapy.

Thank you for all you do, followers & followees, to participate in this little online Christmas miracle.

Merry, merry, and shit.

Attached: 4 images If anyone was wondering if #Elmo’s target audience got the message. “14/88” is a popular extension of “88” which adds the “14 words” about saving “white children” created by Nazi terrorist David Lane. Numerous neo-Nazi trolls are adding the number to his comment to make sure he knows that they heard him clearly. #EvacuateTwitter

To respond to my own question, as someone else might find this useful:

Google Chrome extension "Twitter Unfollow All" seems to work great.

@hen by buying #Twitter and causing the #TwitterEvacuation #ElonMusk is *indirectly* helping to fix #socialMedia... ;)
Every time I read about Elmo saying “I love humanity!” My brain automatically adds “…they are my favorite food!” I don’t know why that happens. #TwitterEvacuation
