This should have been advised many months ago. Now it’s too late. Shithead won.

Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won't even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.
Agreed, but still do it
Yup. Here's what I did:
- recommend others not vote for him in 2016
- didn't vote for him in 2016
- avoided TruthSocial and other nonsense during his first term
- encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2020
- didn't vote for him in 2020
- continued to avoid TruthSocial
- encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2024
- didn't vote for him in 2024
See a pattern?
Truth Social wasn't launched until 2022 during the Biden presidency.
Was it? Huh, I guess I avoided it thoroughly enough to not remember when it launched.
You did vote though? Right? Right?
Yup, voted each time. Didn't matter though, my state's elections are almost never competitive. But it only took a few minutes and I voted at home, so at least I didn't spend all afternoon in line.
You didn't do that a couple of years ago when Musk decided to push his own posts and right wing content to the top of everyone's feed? I dropped twatter that same day.
Mastodon works well, tell your twatter refugee friends.
People who weren't ready to listen before are now.

It's past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn't be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, "Whoops! I was supporting fascism!"
To be fair, I've been on there calling the fascists and Trump apologists out. The pennies they get from ads pale in comparison to the fact I bought a Tesla years ago womp womp 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🫤
Lemme guess, this site still has a Xitter account
It does indeed.
LMAO 😂
At least they are still calling it Twitter
Way too late to "fight" them this way, it's already served it's purpose for them. Everyone needed to have done this like a year ago, dummies. But yeah, still delete it anyway.
Yeah. It served it's purpose, he bought a mass social media outlet, let it run wild, influenced elections, spread hate and normalized even more extreme views to fuck with all the world. The damage is done. Claiming doing something good at this point when it should have been done at the early signs but everyone would call you paranoid is just non sense. Crying wolf and all that bullshit.
That would require me to have X on my phone. I do not. Because I deleted Twitter when dipshit took over.
Dipshit is my 2024 favourite word.
Deleted mine two years ago.
Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.
I deleted Threads five days ago.
It was a cesspool of (Russian? Troll Farm?) propaganda attacking Harris for not having any accomplishments for the last four years, complaining about housing, grocery, egg, and gas prices, “fixing” America, a crapton of pro-jesus stuff, pro-Elon comments and reposts, government money going to “illegals” instead of hurricane victims, and a ton of made up lies. …
All of which were as transparent as fuck why they were wrong. VP’s don’t make policy, so what accomplishments should she have? Housing has been going up for a decade+, it’s not new, egg prices were normal while the pics were of organic egg prices and expensive grocery carts had hidden high cost items or just straight up lied about the cost, gas prices are the lowest they’ve been for years. Jesus stuff praised trump, America, tons of AI generated “holy” trump pics, bashed atheists, posted Elon’s BS pseudo-wisdom, Ignored the $20Bn spent on hurricane relief in favor of a few hundred million housing the undocumented workers living in the affected area…
It was infuriating. Because they were so obviously wrong…blatantly, in-your-face, completely fucking wrong. It was a constant flood of lies. Eight out of nine posts were BS.
But as soon as the election swung in Trump’s favor…poof…it went quiet. Hardly a peep. Gone.
And I realize that Threads was captured completely by troll farm bots spewing right-wing propaganda. And it was a waste of time. So my account will be deleted.
Can't. Even when it was Dorsey's Twitter, it was too toxic.
If you are still on X yet couldn't bring yourself to vote for Kamala because of Palestine then WTF?
Haha and as a reward you get Trump. Watch how that works out for Palestine. Idiots

Twitter (I will always call it that-fuck you melon head musk), is just fox news for the internet, a fascist hate app.
...the only way this would have fought them was before the election, now they're in the walls, that is palliative care.
That doesn't mean leaving now isn't better than staying.

Just remembered I still had one..
Anyway, Goodbye fuckers
Sure, do it for your mental health, but it won’t do anything else now. That ship has sailed, been torpedoed, and is now chilling at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Used it from 2009 until around 2013. It was so much better before it was super huge.
