@andrewstroehlein
Me: 3–4 years ago, when #ElonMusk started making a mess of it. It was still Twitter then. I occasionally post there, but mostly only to harass idiots. -

@andrewstroehlein That'll be when the soulless husk bought it!

@andrewstroehlein governments could create their own official Mastodon servers and be completely in control of their own platforms and content. Without the baggage of posting on a centralised network and giving implied support to the owner.
-
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. As soon as he bought it I jumped ship. Never looked back.

@andrewstroehlein It was such a toxic atmosphere on Twitter long before Musk's takeover. Random pools of filth coalesced, however, making it impossible to filter out the slime as I once did. I stayed much longer than I should have, but when the blue bird was caged, that was it, but it was no idyll, even in the early days.

I went looking for alternatives when the nazi bought Twitter. Then I left but hanged around a little to post about Mastodon. My profile there still points to Mastodon.
But it was a fun time when they changed so anyone could buy a blue check.

Sad how true this is for basically every country in the world -

I don't know why that was my line but I deleted my account there when the view counts went in soon after musk took over.

@andrewstroehlein Me: When they blocked posting links to other platforms (since reversed, but that was the final nail in the coffin). The last time I returned it was to fix my profile showing I had left and where to find me not on X.

@andrewstroehlein I closed my account WAY back, the moment I heard Elon Musk express his interest in buying Twitter. I never regretted that decision.

@andrewstroehlein may I also alert you to this longer post I just put up through my fedi.at account.
It deals with major news outlets and political parties continuing to offer the option to people to follow them on "X":

@andrewstroehlein I still have a twitter account but haven't posted since Elon took over, so since 2023.

@andrewstroehlein for me, back in June 2023, after the Twitter logo was briefly replaced by the doge icon. I had many friends leave before that, when that fascist bought it. I'd been on there 13 years. I wrote a eulogy for it here: https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2023/06/12/the-life-and-death-of-twitter
