# There used to be a Twitter link, to my profile

***I reclaimed my @ over there, but it'll remain inactive, just to prevent the uber troll or other weirdos to take it and do weird things with it. I rather see it suspended than used by anyone else. Cope. Hard.***<br><br>

I've created a placeholder account under this name; [Nitter does not work anymore](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1155#issuecomment-1913361757) and as a logged-out user, there is basically nothing you can do much.<br>

As a less-privacy-intrusive thing, I use this addon called **Old Twitter**. ([Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-twitter-layout-2022/), [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/old-twitter-layout-2022/jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf))<br>

First and foremost, this text may be seen from some as passive aggressive. It may is, but I'm being respectful here, not swearing or anything.

## Very short version why I left Twitter
|
||||
Elon Musk does weird and nonsensical changes to it.

Elon Musk does weird and nonsensical changes to it; spreads (far from reality) [weird](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/23/elon-musk/elon-musk-says-theres-scientific-consensus-on-birt/)¹ [conspiracy](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/06/elon-musk/elon-musk-is-wrong-to-say-joe-biden-is-recruiting/)² [theories](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/may/04/elon-musk/elon-musks-false-claim-nbc-news-covered-hunter-bid/)³. [Those](https://archive.is/XTCes)⁴ [ones](https://archive.is/QWHII)⁵ ([Article](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/mar/06/elon-musk/fact-check-elon-musks-claim-that-democrats-are-avo/)), for example.

## Long version why I left Twitter
|
||||
- He is making the Platform worse for normal, non-paying users
|
||||
- Removing features that was previously free, requires now a Twitter Blue subscription
|
||||
- Twitter Blue aka "verification" fiasco itself, creating exactly this "Lords and peasants"-system, aka it is more corrupted than it was before
|
||||
- The algorithm is pushing those, who are paying
|
||||
- Also the algorithm is pushing Elon Musk tweets by default (Cause he don't have enough reach by default, before these big brain changes, huh...)
|
||||
- He is making the Platform [worse for normal, non-paying users](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601201351/https://memeburn.com/2023/04/twitter-prioritizes-verified-subscribers/)

|
||||
- [Also the algorithm is pushing Elon Musk tweets by default](https://web.archive.org/web/20240215101614/https://www.businessinsider.com/musk-changed-twitter-algorithm-tweets-didnt-get-attention-book-2024-2) (Cause he don't have enough reach by default, before these big brain changes, huh...)
|
||||
- The algorithm is punishing those, if you're muting(?) or blocking them, really demote them into oblivion
|
||||
- Elon Musk acts like he is not an adult
|
||||
- He apparently claims he is the "smartest" person in the building, if he is in the building, which I don't see that at all
|
||||
- He apparently claims he is the „smartest” person in the building, if he is in the building, which I don't see that at all
|
||||
- Since the tookover, Bots, Cryptobros and NFTbros are more active than before (maybe just subjectively), which he claimed he wants to fight them on the platform, again, I don't see this
|
||||
- Like the reason above, he is likely to push his "Twitter Blue"-subscription thing to "fight" bots, well, it works horribly

|
||||
- The prices for the API access are just lunatic, like ????
|
||||
- Elon should pay those who are actually spending their life and time being on there, instead of paying him<br>
|
||||
(Oh, he's so broke, have some sympathy. 🥺 No, I don't, thanks. 🙄)
|
||||
- Can we please all stop call Blue tick users "verified"? There is **nothing** about being *subscribed* a verification. They're **subscribers** of Twitter Blue. Elon is deceiving you believing being subscribed automatically means verified. No, it's not.
|
||||
- Also he is not consistent if you should "Get verified" or "Get subscribed". FYI.

|
||||
- Claims to be politically a „centrist”, only to push right-wing opinions and not a single left-wing opinion. (Aside from far-right and far-left, those are bad anyways... only ends up with violence.) Very centrist. Consistency! So sad!
|
||||
- Is the most childish-grownup person I've ever seen... Weird.
|
||||
- Self-criticism is nowhere to be found on these type of guys, especially the richest of 'em all.
|
||||
- No criticism on Musk, especially from left-wingers. Getcha banned, like, immediately. „Centrist”! WITCH HUNT!
|
||||
- Offend an left-winger, you're good, but if you dare to offend an right-winger, no bueno. Suspended. You're a „Centrist”. So sad! „Free Speech” nowhere to be found.
|
||||
- Also he is not consistent if you should „Get verified” or „Get subscribed”. FYI.
|
||||
- Also also, he is being constantly inconsistent.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
***I'll still deadname X Twitter, like Elon does with Vivian. Deal with it. All hail true free speech.***
