When did you stop posting on X?
Person A: When its owner made nazi salutes.
Person B: When it became a production and distribution channel for images of child sexual abuse.
Government: We're still posting there.
@andrewstroehlein For me, the last straw was the re-activation of Alex Jones account. I haven't posted since.

@andrewstroehlein I stopped long before it was named X, back in January 2021, when I canceled my Twitter account because the atmosphere there was already going bad and fascist.

@andrewstroehlein when comments with gifs of SS shooting people where no problem but my adittingly verbose answer to that was.

I posted a lot on Twitter - but never on X. His purchase of the platform was enough for me to leave along with a sizeable number of other mastodon posters
@MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein
When Musk bought Twitter the new policy was that calling a trans person by their dead name or misgendering them would not be considered "abuse"... and yet calling a cis person by a name other than their own to be rude, or misgendering a cis person *would* still be abuse.
With such a moderating system you basically have moderation for some but not for others. And it was obvious to me it would spread to include non-whites, non-christians, women etc.
Untenable.

@andrewstroehlein Much earlier. For me the final straw was when links to Mastodon were blocked.

@MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein that's for sure

@andrewstroehlein When the man child came with a sink inside the offices of Twitter and sacked everyone because he could. Glad to say never stayed on X. I only was on Twitter

To be frank I thought I knew enough about Musk to not even wait but your description is exactly that which I feared would come to pass, and it's so much worse than I dreaded.
When Zuckerburg went along same lines I stopped Instagram too; which I really loved for the cooks and crafters which I copied and mostly failed to copy.
It's petty but I will never forgive those two men for ruining those two places for me.

@MatthewNewell @andrewstroehlein
Yeah. I remembered trying to explain how the policy was singling trans people out. Specifically making it so that trans people would be an exception to basic expectations in moderation decisions ... but most people just thought it was "being a little less woke" in some general way.
Not thrilled to have been right. I'm disappointed at how many big companies, governments, and famous people I want to otherwise respect still go there.
