      I wish I had ever used Twitter so I could leave it. Kinda awkward when you want to boycott something, but you weren’t consuming it in the first place. Same thing happened with Chick-Fil-A.

        You think THAT’S bad? I wanted to boycott them too, but can’t even flip off the building as I pass it, owing to the nearest one being on the other side of the Atlantic ocean!

          You think the Atlantic is a long way away? Drag’s nearest chickafill is on the other side of the Pacific. It’s so far away that drag never learned how to spell the name!

      It’s his platform, sure, but the handle was also someone else’s.
      I don’t care what some sign up agreement says, this feels immoral.

        It is immoral, nearly everything Muskow does is immoral and anyone who still uses xitter should be ashamed of themselves.

    This would be like if someone bought out everyone’s favorite restaurant and totally ruined it. The food is worse, the staff are rude, and the only people who still hang out there are a bunch of jerks. And now you’re telling me the owner sometimes shows up and kicks you out of your seat because you’re in “his” spot?

    The obvious remedy is to stop fucking going. And yet, people keep fucking going.

        Unpopular opinion (at least in the Fediverse): while mastodon exists and is nice (if a little harder to grasp), Threads actually has a sufficient user base to be considered a substitute for Xitter. I was watching it during the debates and there was lively enough conversation to be interesting and still unable to read every comment that tagged the debate in real time.

        Down with centralized social media and all that, but just a suggestion if you miss the volume of posts and the centralized interface that Xitter dumps out.

        Drag would like to introduce you to a wonderful website called Mastodon. https://mastodon.social

        Drag respects the fact that Mastodon exists, but drag also doesn’t use it because the Twitter format is very boring. Drag tried using Twitter before Musk bought it, and it was no fun at all. Drag was just screaming into the void.
