***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 (depends who reads it, I guess. Hello, fragile egos out there.), 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; 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.

- 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/)
- [Removing features that was previously free](https://archive.is/ZA1BP), requires now a Twitter Blue subscription
- Twitter Blue aka „verification” fiasco itself, creating exactly this [„Lords and peasants”-system](https://archive.is/wau8Z), aka it is more corrupted than it was before
- [The algorithm is pushing those, who are paying](https://web.archive.org/web/20240409212830/https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/1/23435092/elon-musk-twitter-blue-verification-cost-ads-search) for the blue checkmark ([Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Blue_verification_controversy))
- [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
- 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.
- 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.

Man up already. I don't mind if you do, when do you play Video Games and whatnot, but this? Come on.
