Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.
Good luck.
He can fuck off for legitimizing and enriching Musk's Twitter for two years and then leaving after it's too late to do any good.
Not to say people shouldn't leave Twitter, but like...this isn't going to devastate him. He's in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.
The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.
The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.
If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.
"I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they're just too toxic"
Honestly.. 🙄🙄🙄
"Relationship ended with Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg is my best friend now."
You're mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans' problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.
If you don't like weird billionaires running the show and pushing political misinformation, don't use Facebook.
Threads was awash in bullshit "hacked at the tabulation level" election conspiracy theories following the election. It may not be MAGA, but it's still making people stupid.
Meta even has Project 2025 people on staff helping run Threads: https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/why-did-meta-just-hire-this-ron-desantis-approved-project-2025-alum/
Stop using social media run by billionaires of you're tired of getting fucked over by the ruling class.
You clearly don't know anything about Stephen King's politics and social positions.
Apparently neither does he.
I'm leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.
Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.
He's going over to Threads, which is only a slight improvement.
Follow me on Threads
so, nothing has changed.
Boom! Mic drop! Stephen King EVISCERATES loser Elon in this EPIC post on X Formerly Known As Twitter!
[gif of that person clapping, you should know which one, everyone posted it endlessly every time Chrissy Teigen or those Krassenstein fucks threw some meaningless shade] hats off to this brave hashtag Resister for doing something that everyone should have fucking done three years ago at the very latest
I’m done, fuck everything, fuck everyone
at least there is competition these days, unlike during twitters rise
Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.
Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.
At this rate, Twitter worth will be in minus soon.
Doesn't matter, he got what he paid for on November 5th
while he's well and truly in the black, what he paid for was banning the Elonjet account. Everything else was an after thought.
Pretty sure he paid to dismantle the public square, an organizing space for the left, a voice for millions, and all that sweet sweet information that will soon be used to hunt the enemy within.
Ding Ding Ding.
I lost count of the amount of times I got downvoted to oblivion for saying "He isnt an idiot manchild, he is up to something. Yall are assuming he is playing checkers badly, he is playing chess and whupping your ass"
You dont get to be the richest man in the world by being an absolute fucking idiot.
100%, and funded partially by Saudis whi dismembered journalist Khashoggi over the Panama Papers. This was an attack on the public and it continues. It started the fog of war
