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.
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

@andrewstroehlein Left Twitter when he purchased it. Lost 9k followers but never looked back. Incredible seeing what it's become.

Before it became X. When the sale to one of the worst people in the world had just been confirmed. -

In public organisations, no one takes responsibility for digital decision-making.

@andrewstroehlein I deleted my Twitter account the day Musk took ownership.
I could read the writing on the wall.

@andrewstroehlein For me, the last straw was the re-activation of Alex Jones account. I haven't posted since.

@andrewstroehlein I stopped long before it was named X, back in January 2021, when I canceled my Twitter account because the atmosphere there was already going bad and fascist.

@andrewstroehlein when comments with gifs of SS shooting people where no problem but my adittingly verbose answer to that was.

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
When Musk bought Twitter the new policy was that calling a trans person by their dead name or misgendering them would not be considered "abuse"... and yet calling a cis person by a name other than their own to be rude, or misgendering a cis person *would* still be abuse.
With such a moderating system you basically have moderation for some but not for others. And it was obvious to me it would spread to include non-whites, non-christians, women etc.
Untenable.

@andrewstroehlein Much earlier. For me the final straw was when links to Mastodon were blocked.
