New T&C seem like a good time to stop posting on here. Twitter used to be an amazing mixing pool of cool people discussing interesting things, but for the last 5 years it's been increasingly tilted towards stroking billionaires egos. I'm on Mastodon:

"Now that @realDonaldTrump is headed back to the White House, with @ElonMusk in tow, there is not even a pretense of hope on that platform for anyone who voted against Trump. It’s better late than never, but it’s well and truly time to cut @X loose." https://t.co/76tNu3ajyP

With Trump headed back to the White House, there’s no better time to delete your X account.

So many people opted out of the sneaky landgrab of users' rights, that X have now decided to post new T&C with it all baked in. https://t.co/EPia1QupaG So we might just stop posting here. We already get a lot more replies and shares on Mastodon anyway: https://t.co/bTPIPx5Qu5

Just created a new profile on Mastodon. Anybody following us here who's also on there should follow us there instead. You're much more likely to see our posts there, without the Twitter/X algorithm picking and choosing what you see and what you don't. https://t.co/bTPIPx5Qu5

"Let go of any illusions you still harbour that the prosperity of the world’s richest people depends on a thriving economy. If anything, the oligarchs stand to do better when the economy (and the country) go to hell." https://t.co/2w0kbNszGm

If you stick with Elon Musk, you’re complicit.

"Twitter's ex-CMO, Leslie Berland, is suing @ElonMusk, saying she is owed $20 million in severance. The same week as Berland's filing, Twitter's ex-CEO got the go-ahead to proceed with a similar suit." https://t.co/p5Cc1KPVJQ

Leslie Berland was chief marketing officer when Elon Musk bought Twitter. She was fired around a month after he took over the company, now known as X.

"Now is the time to abandon @X. As citizens come to terms with a declared antidemocratic US president, propped up by the misinformation and hate speech of @ElonMusk, no one who believes in the rule of law can justify remaining on this platform." https://t.co/1v6eFGXLF7

"There were angry responses to the change when X said it would be coming soon. While some users may only use blocking to avoid seeing accounts that are annoying, some users said the policy could be harmful for people who use blocking as a safety measure." https://t.co/yIhERDyH8g

X change lets blocked users see posts made by the people who blocked them.

"@ElonMusk’s conversations with #Putin would clearly violate Musk’s security clearance. If classified information was leaked, Musk could be required to give up control of @SpaceX, which holds the majority of his companies’ government contracts." #USpol

"Alcon alleged @ElonMusk and @Tesla had were denied permission to use “Blade Runner 2049” imagery in their presentation of Tesla’s Cybercab earlier this month, and instead fed images from the film to an AI generator to create similar images." https://t.co/ULFS8lJcDU
