For English speakers who do not speak French:

I wanted to let you know about this awesome movement started in France to encourage people to quit X (Twitter) on January 20.

You can follow it here with the hashtag and use Mastodon's translation feature to read the posts (if your server has it). You can read more about this movement on this website (in English): https://www.helloquitx.com/

You can support this movement by following it on Mastodon, and sharing widely: @helloQuitX

X owner Elon Musk appears to be spooked by the continuous flow of users leaving the social media platform in favor of alternatives like BlueSky and Meta's Threads. Via @futurism DeleteX https://futurism.com/the-byte/change-twitter-elon-musk-panicking-bluesky

Yup. I did it. Inspired by Kevin Rose's big engagement bait post on Threads, me and my big mouth said "if I get 200 likes yada yada, poof Twitter account". And y'all in the ended up doing over 350. ;)

In all seriousness though, I was already considering doing this. Feels like a bit of a cleansing.

BTW, one cannot "delete" a Twitter account. One can only deactivate it. Then you have to wait 30 days for it to be fully, completely deleted. I've got a calendar mark set for my own 30 days, to follow through on that.

Account gone from Twitter.
