Sure, do it for your mental health, but it won’t do anything else now. That ship has sailed, been torpedoed, and is now chilling at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Can't. Even when it was Dorsey's Twitter, it was too toxic.

This should have been advised many months ago. Now it’s too late. Shithead won.

That would require me to have X on my phone. I do not. Because I deleted Twitter when dipshit took over.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Dipshit is my 2024 favourite word.

Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won't even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Agreed, but still do it

Yup. Here's what I did:

  1. recommend others not vote for him in 2016
  2. didn't vote for him in 2016
  3. avoided TruthSocial and other nonsense during his first term
  4. encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2020
  5. didn't vote for him in 2020
  6. continued to avoid TruthSocial
  7. encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2024
  8. didn't vote for him in 2024

See a pattern?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Truth Social wasn't launched until 2022 during the Biden presidency.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Was it? Huh, I guess I avoided it thoroughly enough to not remember when it launched.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You did vote though? Right? Right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yup, voted each time. Didn't matter though, my state's elections are almost never competitive. But it only took a few minutes and I voted at home, so at least I didn't spend all afternoon in line.

Never signed up for Twitter and definitely not X. Leon can give to his pals in Moscow.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Better late than never I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I never used X. I did half-assedly make an account in 2013 but I have long since deleted it. I have no real use for twitter.
