Finally deleted my twitter accounts. I was holding onto the because I really liked a couple of profiles that aren't on Mastodon, but after two weeks without even opening the app I realized I don't miss it at all. So, to trash you go.
Next on the list: reddit and Instagram. I still use those a lot, and I'm thinking seriously if I should use it at all.
How to speed up the move of “Tech/Nerd Twitter” to Mastodon! 🦣
— ‘Apps like Tweetbot have been around for more than a decade at this point, with loyal users, full teams of developers, and a major investment in the social network.
…
Jason Snell called Twitter's actions "clueless, classless, and cowardly," and John Gruber said this is likely the end of his regular usage of Twitter as Twitter's own client is "terrible."’

Elmo the Fake Space Karen seems to be deploying an army of bots to wage Edit War on the Wikipedia page for "Twitter Files"...
("Twitter Files" is that fake-ass "leak" that Elmo tried to feed right-wing press that accuses, falsely, that Twitter interfered in the 2020 & 2016 elections in favor of US Democrats.)
Anyways, any volunteer antifa feeling like fighting back, feel free...
Elon's a fucking moron

So it's Tuesday, did Elon let everyone back in the building? Is it still there? Twitter, I mean. I assume the building's still standing. Maybe up for sale? That's a way to bring in some cash!
I think the spiritual successor has ended up being the Penguins Unbound group, which is now over on Meetup.
I was having trouble creating a new account there, and got some 500 server errors. Is the #twitterpocalypse hitting Meetup?

Well, over the past few days I've gone through all my followers on twitter and followed people elsewhere.
What I would have liked:

What I got:

C'est la vie.
I'm ready for the #Twitterpocalypse now.
#TwitterMigration
Weird dog, hiding from the latest Twitter news.
Mastodon has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and highest-profile options for people looking for an alternative to #Twitter in the wake of Elon Musk's erratic changes.

@emmanewman I didn't want to loose you in case of #Twitterpocalypse !
Tip: if your notifications coloumn is too much, you can filter it and customise it, get rid of favorites, etc., it's the setting menu above it !
I just learned that 1,200 people resigned from #Twitter yesterday. 😳 The office holiday party is going to be soooo boring this year with the three people still working there. #Twitterpocalypse
Happy to see more #Twitter friends coming on over. We'll figure something out, don't you worry.

The people asserting that we've never had anything like the #twitterpocalypse are kind of annoying me.
Sure we have, it's just the internet was smaller back then and people don't remember things for long.
There is literally a community that built its own servers because it was tired of being repeated kicked off of things and losing everything.
The #fanfic community.
Last line of this article from @theverge is the best: “Twitter no longer has a communications department to contact for comment.”

“Hundreds of employees say no to being part of Elon Musk’s ‘extremely hardcore’ Twitter”

This is a great day to go on Twitter and post that you think the site has a great future under Musk.
If you're wrong, nobody will be able to troll you about it. #Twitter #Twitterpocalypse
Ah, threadfics.
I'm going to miss you the most 😢
En mi opinión que #twitter se venga abajo es una de las peores cosas que puede pasar para la libertad de expresión.
Si algo ha definido a Twitter es que permite que el no tiene altavoces mediático, se pueda expresa

Hey, at least with @BlueBassist we know we’ll have a healthy local community after the #twitterpocalypse
No shouting into a void and hoping someone shouts back like in the #twitterdome.
horrorhub.club is awesome. I’m so glad I found you all.
No one gets severance if Twitter declares bankruptcy first, right? #twitterpocalypse
#ElonMusk got what he wanted after all.
The entire world including myself are talking about him now.
The entire front page of Reddit are news about #Twitter.
Every tech blog and mainstream newspapers are also talking about him.
He is the center of attention of the entire world right now.
He is living the dream.
/s
The knock on effect of the #twitterpocalypse through the economy will be huge. This isn't just about all the people laid off, bad as that is. Businesses large and small that do business with or otherwise depend on Twitter are going to be in a bad place. More layoffs, closures, bankruptcies. I'm afraid we're only at the very beginning.
On the other hand, a lot of very sharp people will be out there doing things. So after the crash there will be something good.
Or so I hope.
Twitter's really in a lil bit of a rough place right now huh?

Latest: Last night Elon essentially ultimatumed like 90% of Twitter engineers that they have to go "extreme hardcore" or they can quit on the spot and take 3-months pay in severance.
This morning SF time apparently over 90% took up Elon on the 3-month pay offer.
Some analysts estimating Twitter will cease operating properly in about three weeks' time.
What I love about the #Elon #Twitter takeover is that it is undoing decades of PR and indoctrinations for the public in believing that the rich are somehow always better, more capable, and more intelligent.
It is shattering the Mandate of Heaven for #Capitalism.
Is this the beginning of the end for #Twitter? DownDetector notes major spike in user issues in the past 24 hours at a time when so many of the engineers have been let go. 👀
Say what you like about #ElonMusk, he's a quick worker.
There are probably only a handful of CEOs in the world who could bring a modestly-successful multi-billion-dollar business to the brink of collapse in just three weeks.

Ahaha lol... 😂🙃👏

...Yes yes, in the style of "Web 3 Is Going Great"; but the Twitter one is curated pseudonymously by current & former Twitter employees.
I don't think this is going to end well. Maybe Twitter will be "better" in the long run, but I don't think people have as much tolerance for toxic workplaces now. Twitter will limp along for the next 3-4 months, but I'd be surprised it's going to look anything like it does (or did) by mid-2023. If it's around much at all.
Opinion column by Ian Bogost, reflecting on 'twitterpocalypse', he asks: "What is social media? And should we even try to save it?"

AFAICT Twitter Blue just cost a big US insulin provider $30bn in market cap through a fake blue tick account tweeting that they were giving away insulin. 🤯
Staying on #Twitter is a liability for major brands.
Yesterday a scammy Twitter-verified account (one that paid $8) posted as the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly that "insulin is now free." This morning, Eli Lilly's stock dropped off a cliff.
Musk's manufactured chaos at Twitter is having very real economic consequences.
I’ve been staying off the bird site bc I refuse to contribute content or traffic to that man, but I just scrolled for 10 minutes and let me tell you: the sheer scale of (entirely foreseen) mayhem and destruction is sensational.
Folks, it’s an absolute meltdown, like the climax of a zombie movie, except there are no heroes to save the day, just zombies.
It’s the #Twitterpocalypse.
For those people who are ON the shop but don't see the statistics, this is what the #Twitterpocalypse looks like on the admin side.
Needless to say, we're seeing a lot of new faces.
