George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽My mastodon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be “unsafe.”
You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.

kkeller@georgetakei are you going to ditch Twitter soon? It seems like now is a good time to give it up completely.
inclusive Wiccayes but the thing to do is to lock your account, not delete it - because after 30 days that username becomes available again, enabling trolls to move in and impersonate you.

W/ both sadness & relief, I deleted my account. But I hear you. Protecting one's name & reputation does matter. #ElonMusk supports fascism & is openly ANTI-SOCIAL, so supporting the platform at all is ethically worse than a risk that someone might use a handle that you once used.
Twitter's institutional knowledge & structures are now utterly broken & won't likely recover. IMO putting one's hopes in a future rebirth is just holding onto a lost cause.
@batyalee @kkeller @georgetakei
Agreed, it's a difficult situation. I am not hanging on because I think there's a chance Twitter will recover, but because it seemed the best option for now.
