I’ve asked for a compelling reason to leave many times before, and so far people have failed to provide me one, but since you’re so smart, lets hear it it then.
EDIT: Downvote if you can’t come up with a good reason
it’s a failing platform run by one of the most chaotic people in existence; everything you make there will literally or figuratively go up in smoke, from the posts to the connections
everything you make there is currently lining the pockets of a racist, lying nationalist
it’s losing money at an alarming rate while being beholden to the debt caused by the leveraged buyout that sold out to the aforementioned chaotic bro, meaning that they’re increasingly desperate to make money and will take more and more morally dubious deals in order to stay afloat
the racism is a feature, not a bug, tacitly and overtly endorsed by the current owner
the misinformation is a feature, not a bug, tacitly and overtly endorsed by the current owner
the nationalism is a feature, not a bug, tacitly and overtly endorsed by the current owner
they’re systematically stripping user control and transparency out of the platform, from ads and targeting to user blocking to outgoing links
they’re absolutely going to keep putting every useful feature behind Twitter Blue or whatever they’re calling it these days
uptime might be stable for now, but as soon as more bills become due it’s going to tank again
a venerable and respected platform has been reduced to this in a matter of months because of one man’s ego and hubris
the longer you delay in building a new platform and new habits only makes it harder for you to do so when all this finally does become too much for you
These are only eleven reasons. I have many more, some personal and some universal. If at all possible, get off of Twitter.
Well I can grant you that me continuing to use twitter likely somewhat profits people I don’t have much respect for, but then again I’m posting gay porn so there’s slight irony there too.
The other reasons you listed are mostly stuff other people are experiencing, but not me. There’s no politics in my twitter feed. No nazies, no racism, no nationalists, no Elon Musk, no ads… just porn and the occasional cat video.
I must also point out that it’s quite apparent from your message, that you have a strong personal bias involved here. I don’t have that same emotional reaction to this. Social media is shit by definition and I don’t see twitter as any different from the rest.
Lets just take a moment to appreciate the fact, that you were already calling me dumb, and now you’re telling me to fuck off, and another user is calling me retarded yet somehow it’s me acting in bad faith.
You continue to support a platform like twitter, yeah- you deserve it- and your response just proved it as well. Where there may have been a high road for you to take here, you chose not to. Now, the only difference between you and I, is I’m not patronizing a platform owned and poorly operated by a bigoted, racist Nazi sympathizer.
It’s quite hilarious how ignorant you’re to your own toxic behaviour. Feel free to go thru my comment history, and try find an example of me talking to others that way. You’re the kind of person who makes social media worse for everyone.

Cool bro. Have fun supporting fascism.
You seem like the target demographic, actually.
How so?

You’re not a victim here kiddo.
And now you’re calling me a kiddo.
