I just deleted my Twitter account.

I saw a viral pro-H*tler tweet on my timeline with 66,000 likes and 9.5 million views. That was enough for me to ensure my posts donโ€™t contribute any value to that garbage dump.

@carnage4life Congrats on not letting the steadily warming water dull your senses completely.

We know where it is going to end.

@androcat @carnage4life
I keep my account there because I do not want to give it back to Musk. But I stopped using Twitter one or two weeks after Musk's takeover. Never looked back.
@carnage4life good to hear it. I like seeing your posts here where they contribute to advancing the fediverse.

@carnage4life

It was time. Glad to read this.

@carnage4life That's disgusting. I am glad that you left. If more people would get the guts to abandon that horrible site, we might be able to recreate the communities that we lost elsewhere.
@alcinoe @carnage4life Preferably on the #fediverse, because of the federated nature no single company or single person has the power to control everything.
@alcinoe @carnage4life It gives free speech tho. I like it

@carnage4life congratulations!

good call IMHO  

Glad you are here!

@carnage4life

Good for you! It is hard to walk away from something that you have devoted so much time and energy to build. But the old Twitter is no more. You are doing the right thing. Thank you.

@mastodonmigration @carnage4life you did the right thing?๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@carnage4life No decent person should be on twitter.
@JoCzechowska @carnage4life Not anymore. Twitter was killed, migrate to #mastodon. #ClickXToLeaveThePlatform
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life Twitter pays. Mastodon doesn't
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life Creators. I mean I know people with like 600 followers earning $70-100 a month.
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life That money is not going to pay the bills, not even close.
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life what bills? Twitter blue cost $9. So they're getting back 1000% of their money. It's good business, no?
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life No it's not. Serious creators spend way more than 40 hours a week on their branding and creating new relevant content. With that amount of time invested every week the revenues should cover all your bills.
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life Lol. You most probably spend the equivalent per week on ur phone and not getting any pay. They get paid so yes it's worth it. Plus there are creators who post 3 to 4 times a week and rake in hundreds to thousands every month. Twitter gives people the opportunity to earn money while giving the right to free speech. H8 on it but I'll take it over any Meta app anyday
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life You are making this up.
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life No I'm not. It's easy money bro. But you hate Elon so you shouldn't bring urself so low as to collect his money
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life Maybe you should take some elementary economics classes in order to understand the claims you make. It does not add up.
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life Your story. It is simple economics.
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life you care to explain it better? Cos u do know I earn money on X. Ik how it works, frank
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life What puzzels me is why you hang out here on Mastodon?
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life it's a social media app open to the public, Frank.
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life Ah yes, we are on the same page. Something that can not be said about Twitter or whatever platform replaced it. It is not publicly accessible.
@alterelefant @JoCzechowska @carnage4life what's bro waffling about. You can literally go to ur play store or app store download like any social media app, create an acct and use it for free. Mastodon is actually more censored than Twitter btw
@Mod_07 @JoCzechowska @carnage4life Indeed, create an account. It is not possible anymore to browse Twitter without an account. Mastodon is open to the internet.
@JoCzechowska @carnage4life Twitter pays. Mastodon doesn't.

@carnage4life It won't be deleted for 30 days. If you log back in until then, it'll be restored.

Hopefully you can resist the urge, you don't go back.

I know it took me a couple of deactivates then it stuck. I've been free of X since 7.21.24

@carnage4life congratulations! Well done.
@carnage4life Welcome! I do miss what Twitter used to be, but I too realized I did not want to be in that space anymore. Mass user action is powerful and it matters where we spend our time and attention.
@carnage4life well done. I just protected my tweets this week in anticipation on deleting the account tbh.

@carnage4life I've deliberately not deleted my account because I don't want anyone reusing my identity, but I've not posted anything there in the past three years, and I also don't read it.

I mean, why would you?

@carnage4life xitter is big hole of nazi scum ...
@carnage4life Only reason I'm staying are a very few LGBT sexworkers which don't use other social media.

@carnage4life @mekkaokereke I switched my Twitter account to read-only a few months ago.

In my case the immediate trigger was Twitter arbitrarily changing the content of people's posts because Elon Musk does not want people to write twitter.com .

But it was already quite bad over there then and it is worse now.

Join the Fediverse today!
The only social home with a guarantee* for no viral pro Hitler posts.

(*Does not apply if you join freespeechextremist servers)

@carnage4life

@carnage4life More accounts leaving X is always a good thing even if it's admittedly a bit late, let's hope this viral pro-Hitler stuff will ve the last straw for many others

And people need to stop the 'I stay because accounts I like are still there' and go on the offense by convincing these accounts to open accounts on Threads / Mastodon

@carnage4life @mastodonmigration I wish I could be surprised by something like that anymore. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ I know the Fediverse isnโ€™t exactly immune to hate groups, but at least we have ways to do something about it before it grows and festers and poisons everything around it.

@deriamis
I was persuaded when I saw that most Fediverse server admins subscribed to a code of ethics, and that they could flat out block access server-wide to a server full of hate speech.

@carnage4life @mastodonmigration

@carnage4life the direction of travel was clear from the get goโ€ฆ not sure how to feel about the people that remain there.

@carnage4life

Congrats on your act of self care.

@carnage4life woah, that is straight up some scary stuff. It's calm here for now.
