Jenny Z., This Puzzle PieceI'm curious how many folks on Mastodon still use Twitter/X.
Boosts appreciated so I can get a better sense.
I've left Twitter completely.
I still use Twitter.
I was never on Twitter.
Poll ended at .
geographile@jennyzilliac I use Twitter to share information about what Elon is really like and what he is doing. I have abandoned it for other uses. I post maybe every other day or every third day.
@geographile I hear ya!
My guess is that the people on Twitter have already formed strong opinions about Musk. Like people have already formed strong opinions about Trump. People who are uninformed and undecided about either Musk or Trump at this point are a puzzle!
🍑 gwen 🍑@jennyzilliac maybe once a week, i check in on my priv acct. i also still get notifs for one acct, so sometimes i'll check her page for some good tweets. and when something breaking news happens, i check there cuz it's got plaintext search, but results are shittier nowadays so that usefulness is declining day by day...
Mark Wieczorek@jennyzilliac Not only did I leave twitter, but I block all their sites using pihole on a raspberry pi.

Stephan H. Wissel@jennyzilliac Public service announcement: Don't leave #twitter Delete your tweets, unfollow everything, clean your bio - replace it with your Feeiverse info.
Don't delete your account unless you are OK with some spambot taking it over and post "in your name" stuff you disagree with

@stw I deleted my account sometime back. This is the first time I am hearing of bots taking over deleted accounts.
I guess I don't see Twitter as a place that I need to invest emotional energy in. I don't see it as a place with a future. I don't care what happens there anymore because it's passed the point of no return. So I don't care about bots using my account.
Of course I could be wrong! Ya never know!
Daniele@jennyzilliac I still use Twitter daily. I love Mastodon, but most of my activity on Twitter was following news from my own curated lists, and Mastodon simply doesn't have these people there.
I definitely feel more comfortable engaging people here though, I refrain from posting there because of how toxic the community feels.
Koen de Jonge - SynQ@jennyzilliac I have stopped posting anything there.
I still regularly get pointers towards it, but if I then go there I have to schedule some time afterwards to ‘cool down’, the content on Twitter and the shitstorm of adds and ‘recommended’ posts agitates me and leaves me upset even though I know in advance what I can expect.
El Duvelle@jennyzilliac I still use it to tell people there that they should move to Mastodon… but I’m starting to think that there’s nothing more I can do now.
Toran Shaw - M7TOR@jennyzilliac I still use the other place, though I have started to cut down how often I go there.
There's just too many asleep righties, that I don't follow, in my timeline, for my liking.
Eddie Cochrane@jennyzilliac much reduced activity on my part, and I'm gradually disengaging. I would rather not see my username fall into the hands of scumbags.
Guillaume Pasquier@jennyzilliac Lurking only for a few stragglers, don't engage, retweet, or even fav anymore.

@jennyzilliac I’ve taken the app off my phone. I’ll still check it, but it’s like once a week when I’m at my computer now.
Grifflion 🇨🇦 🏴 🇬🇧 🇮🇪 🇪🇺@jennyzilliac "I still use Twitter" rarely. I only occasionally tweet to keep my account 'active' in order to secure my username. Not that I have an important account or anything 😎
bashfulrobot / Dustin Krysak@jennyzilliac pretty much DM only. Coming in via an alternate (beeper) app.
aaron@jennyzilliac technically I’m still on Twitter, but that’s only because I’m going through all my old tweets and deleting them individually before I delete the account.
@jennyzilliac and it’s done. Though I’ve decided to not actually try and delete the account so the username doesn’t become available.
@aaron Nice work, Aaron!
IncredibishI can't tick any of your options. Twitter is still there, like a dodgy relative at the party, sat in the corner drinking itself to sleep. Knows some useful stuff, talks to some important people, but you wouldn't want to take them to your kids' school event...
John Hoggard@jennyzilliac 'use' is doing a lot of heavy lifting for me. I login, check that my mutuals who haven't moved to Mastodon or Threads yet are 'ok', block random scam ads, block transphobes (that appear in the comments of those same mutuals), logout.

@jennyzilliac I "left it" but have kept my twitter up for now as a means for people to find my other socials. But I unfortunately have to keep checking it because crytobros keep tagging my accounts for dumb stuff. I think in a few more weeks I'll actually close the accounts.
@ChaskaTheMagicDog I was doing something similar for a while. When I deleted my account, it was a relief.
I'm thankful for Mastodon. I feel like I'm gaining good traction here. I like it here a lot.
@jennyzilliac I am enjoying mastodon as well.
Howard Chu @ Symas@jennyzilliac I'm totally off of there now, was still using a bit when I first responded to this poll.
