I used to follow you when I was on twitter, and I missed that when I bailed from that increasingly nihilistic shithole, and I am so glad I found you here.

I didn't quit, I was kicked off for saying bad (and totally fucking verifiable) things about Gov Dr Evil Hot Wheels, but I'm damned if I'll retract anything just to get back on. I meant every word of it. Besides, it's much better here... :)
I think I found Jeff here via when he would repost Twitter comments on Facebook. I was like, "who is this smart, hilarious, on-point person?". So I think I did some clicking around and thankfully landed here! Beyond thankful 🙏
I stayed for a while. As a product manager, there was a community that was worth hanging out for, but in December 2022 when Elon played asshat to journalists covering his hypocrisy on the ElonJet account, I just logged out.
About 3 months later I logged back in to see if *perhaps* it had calmed down.
Nope, I was inundated with rather graphic porn, and the worst fucking ads. So I deleted my account. I knew that was where I would end up, but I will admit I am sad, as the community I had there has been blown up, and it doesn't seem that it has reconstituted anywhere else.
He's on Threads and it's a lot easier to control your feed than it was on X. The trolls are there, but not as rampant as on X. At least, not on my feed.

I quit X too. Everyone should in my opinion.
I wholeheartedly agree! I'd love to see X, formerly known as TWITter, go completely bankrupt.
Whose Elmo? His name is Leon, isn't it?
I prefer Elno. As in "oh, HELL no!" lol
😆😆😆😆
I left immediately when Elmo took over... I didnt even wait for it to change to X,
I havent looked back since !
Ex Xer here too. Left when racist baby Melon Musk took over
Definitely! Twitter has devolved into a cesspool of disinformation!
I check in every once in awhile as my account is still active and yup, it's still a shit hole.

I dumped Twitter right after Musk took over. Got on Threads soon after it debuted. 1000% better than X.
Me too
Thank you for dumping TWITter! I wish more people would do the same. Let Elon Musk lose once in awhile...
Same! Was happy to quit that wasteland but overjoyed to find Jeff here.
me too
Exactly what happened to me. I was so happy to find Jeff on Substack.

I quit Twitter one day after Musk took it over. I knew he'd destroy it.

Elon is like Trump in some ways, except that he has some areas in which he is somewhat competent--but when he strays, as in X, he is destructive.
Aftrr reading this it prompted me to finally go in and deactivate my account.
What need to be deactivated is our national security connected to starlink
Talk about a national security risk.
