When did you stop posting on X?
Person A: When its owner made nazi salutes.
Person B: When it became a production and distribution channel for images of child sexual abuse.
Government: We're still posting there.
@andrewstroehlein
Press: Nooooo our super-special favorite website will always be loved!!!
(Seriously, it did not escape my notice that Twitter was the turning point where news outlets went from treating the Internet like The New Rock and Roll to actually suddenly abruptly liking it.)

@MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein same here. As soon as he bought it I jumped ship. Never looked back.
@spitfire @MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein yep, same here.

@MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein I was banned from Twitter in 2017 for insulting fascists.
@LordCaramac @MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein
Same.
In my case, once Musk let the all the white supremist and neo-nazi accounts back on, I'd find an ugly post on one, then post YOUR AD HERE, tagging coca-cola, mcdonalds, disney, lockheed, etc.I was banned within 12 hrs. Been on fedi since 2023 with ZERO regrets.

Yes. Agree completely. I am stunned by supposedly sensible "right-on" people who still use Twitter Facebook etc.
@MatthewNewell @futurebird @andrewstroehlein

@clintruin @MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein When I was banned, Twitter was still Twitter, but Trump was in office for the first time, and Nazi Twitter was growing fast. I tweeted a couple of things like, "Only a dead fascist is a good one," and "The only platform we should give to Nazis is a wooden one with a trapdoor and a noose."

@andrewstroehlein I can’t understand it. My University was the first UK HEI to leave a long while back (and has a Bluesky account now but isn’t really active; Mastodon too but has never posted).

@andrewstroehlein
I have remarked to my MP that TwitterX is unsuitable, and mentioned federated servers and access.
I suppose it would do no harm if another couple of people did the same.

@philleu @spitfire @MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein
me too. one of his first moves was to fire trust and safety people, and another one was to fire my friends who were still there.

@andrewstroehlein same here in Germany. What a shame.

I posted a lot on Twitter - but never on X. His purchase of the platform was enough for me to leave along with a sizeable number of other mastodon posters
@MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein same here.
