As one cannot view Twitter without an account there, I sort of tend to assume everybody have left it by now. It's crazy to me that this is not the case.

Are you aware that more than half of American voters just placed a self described fascist with progressive dementia in charge of their country? I think you may need to recalibrate your assumptions about human behavior.

You can browse Twitter content here on the fediverse on Mastodon. Just find an instance that supports bird.makeup


To the people getting butthurt: for some people this is a real necessity. I live in a region with many natural disasters, and Twitter is the place I used to go to get weather updates. I don't use Twitter anymore, but I'd also rather not die. So I'll use bird.makeup instead.

The three comments or retweets or whatever the fuck they are that kissed are the exact people I expected to still be on Twitter.

You generally can view a post w/o an account, just no comments associated with that post.

Great to hear. I wish more organizations would do this.

Slowly, they will do. Every new one that does and gets media attention pulls others to do the same

If "X"ubuntu and guys with usernames like theimpressiveX can leave X, you can too!

Hey, we abandoned the platform, not the letter!

Good, hope more find their balls and ditch the Nazi too.

Yeah, I left that app about year ago. It's trash.
