Leave Twitter Now

Twitter is rogue

Summary: Twitter 'addiction' (or FOMO, or sometimes people's wrong belief/intuition that their social life/popularity is the sum total of their Twitter "followers") has thus far prevented more people from leaving; what else do they need to see before realising that it's time to leave?

MAKE no mistake about it. The "shitshow" or the "dumpster fire" that Twitter has become since the takeover is miles worse than the Twitter I left completely over a year ago (I had left years earlier to a lesser degree). I didn't envision it would (just months later) be taken over by a pot-smoking fraud who replaces the logo with a meme, manipulates the algorithms to boost the ego of people who pay him, and so on and so on...

"Social control media is worse than a waste of time."The number of scandalous moves is too great to recall or itemise offhand. We've added links to document most of these (Daily Links) and if anyone still believes things will improve in that platform, then one must be smoking the same stuff this guy does.

Leave Twitter. The sooner, the better. Social control media is worse than a waste of time.
