Elon Musk took over Twitter and turned it into the anti-woke, fascist-amplifying X.
There’s been debate about whether to stay since he bought it. But seeing how it’s evolved and the recent Grok deepfake scandal, there’s no good argument to stay.
I stopped posting there. You should too.
Why the argument that you have to stay on social networks to provide opposition is complete nonsense

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> Author: Mike Kuketz, translated from the original in German The argument that you can’t leave platforms like X or TikTok because there would otherwise be a lack of “dissent” and “opposition” is untenable for several reasons - it’s simply complete bullshit. It is based on a false assumption about how these platforms work and what impact one’s presence there actually has.
@parismarx I loved Twitter. It took me a long time to "grok" it and appreciate all the madness and fun. The moment Elon Musk bought twitter, I deleted my account. I lost a bunch of connections and content that I couldn't get elsewhere then, but I simply couldn't stay. It was hard and painful, but life goes on, and now I have this little place on the net that remains fun and interesting.
Thank you all!
I’m long gone.
