#byetwitter — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #byetwitter, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Since the new Twitter TOS takes effect on November 15 and continuing to use the site means you consent to having all of your posts being used to train generative AI, we finally deactivated our one remaining Twitter account.

    As an added insult, once you're logged out, you no longer can edit those privacy settings, so you get opted into all the information sharing that Twitter wants to do. This is why we use uBlock in advanced mode: We can block all requests to Twitter and prevent them from accumulating data to sell in the first place.

    We're on the fence about setting up another account for the sole purpose of viewing content without contributing. Alternately, we could just use a crappy AI to post to the site and poison the training data they're harvesting. Maybe we'll do so in the future, if we find we're missing too much from Twitter, but the recent uptick in everything on Bluesky (and, to a lesser extent, Mastodon) has us feeling like we're not gonna miss anything worth being worried about.

  2. 2/ Menschen aus der Politik, der Wirtschaft, der Wissenschaft: nehmt Musk doch einfach sein Megaphon aus der Hand und hört auf, seine hässliche Plattform zu nutzen! Der beste Zeitpunkt dafür wäre direkt nach der Twitter-Übernahme gewesen - der zweitbeste ist jetzt. Es tut nicht weh. Okay, vielleicht am Anfang ein kleines bisschen - aber ihr kommt darüber weg, versprochen. #Xit #byetwitter

  3. El*n Musk taking over the Bird App has undoubtedly got to be one of the WORST things to ever happen to social media. The sooner we g********e him and a bunch of other billionaires, the better.

  4. Alle Likes und Retweets auf Twitter löschen – das digitale Äquivalent zum Ausmisten beim Umzug. #ByeTwitter #LetzteSchritte #exX

  5. Auf meiner Website habe ich einen Überblick, auf welchen Social-Media-Plattformen Ihr mich findet (katjaevertz.de/ueber-katja-eve).

    Heute habe ich Twitter rausgeschmissen.

  6. Nach einer zweimonatigen Bluesky-Zwangspause stelle ich fest:

    1. Dort ist jetzt deutlich mehr los.
    2. Es fühlt sich doch sehr nach Twitter an.
    3. Ich bin mir gar nicht sicher, ob ich das überhaupt noch so will.

    Mastodon hingegen fühlt sich weiterhin anders und vor allem entspannter an.

    Ich bleibe gespannt, wie sich das alles weiterentwickelt.

  7. Deactivating my #twitter account was incredibly satisfying. #byetwitter

  8. Quite the news, WordPress drops Twitter social sharing 👀 also hints that social sharing to Mastodon is coming soon.

  9. Keeping my Twitter account so someone else can't grab the handle, but I logged out for the last time today. This is the best place to find me, it's such a warm and wonderful community here on Mastodon, at least in the sampling of those that interact with me and those I follow here. #ByeTwitter

  10. “Of all the social media joints in all the towns in all the world, he walks into mine.” ...#byeTwitter

  11. It was a bit more of an emotional affair than I had anticipated, but it is finally done now. My twitter account is deactivated. #DeletedTwitter #ByeTwitter #SocialMedia #twitter #birdsite

  12. Will the latest meltdown be enough to force me to give up my Twitter habit?

    We will see.

    Frustrating that a billionaire has taken a public service, which happened to be a news archive amongst other things, and has run it into the ground through his ignorance & greed..

  13. CW: Twitter

    Ab jetzt darf man nur noch 600 Tweets pro Tag lesen.

    Rationierung. Wie so in der DDR.

    Tweets demnächst als Bückware?
    Oder Schwarzmarkthandel?

    Kannste Dir echt nicht ausdenken.

  14. So Twitter does not exist as a company anymore. It’s now called X Corp, and yes I’m serious. #socialmedia #elonmusk #byetwitter

  15. Today I said goodbye to the last of my Twitter people- several are already here- & I requested a download of my tweets.

    I haven't been this happy all week. 🥳

  16. LAist is an important source of local information in Southern California, both online and on the radio (formerly known as KPCC)., and is leaving Twitter in solidarity with NPR Let's invite them here. [email protected] #TwitterMigration #byetwitter

  17. I just #deactivated my #twitter account. #byeTwitter

    My heart was pounding.😬
    I wasn’t sure I could let go of this chapter. My followers, my follows. I wondered, will there be a future when Twitter becomes safe again?

    And thats when I realized. 💥

    I don’t want you anymore, Twitter. You weren’t good for me, ever. And I wanted to make a statement:

    F*ck You, #Musk. #Narcissism

    I’m all yours #Mastodon. Merry, Happy. 💙 Let’s do this.

  23. Completed a month here & it’s been great! Positive vibes, informative discussions and good folks to follow. Thanks @jerry (& moderators) for taking good care of this mammoth while we all are enjoying the ride. I cherish the support & shall not take this for granted.

  24. Officially done with the other site. Added a “Follow me on Mastodon” link to my website and removed the other one. Felt good. #byetwitter #byebyebirdie #hellomastodon #followfriday #movingon

  25. If you didn't wish to leave your 🐦handle up for grabs (after 30days of #deactivation, that's what happens) set your account to PRIVATE. It's the same as to #LOCK your account - a padlock shows after your name. #HowTo:

    Settings and privacy > Privacy and safety > Audience and tagging > Protect your tweets✅️ then log out on Your account > Account information > Log out

    Thanks for the advice from our Masto community 💗
