There used to be a Twitter link, to my profile (WIP)
Note: Anyone who claims to be MetroidCatcher, unless stated otherwise by me, is fake. !! DO NOT FOLLOW THEM !!
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. (He can change it anyways... there's that.... (Techcrunch article, Business Insider article, archived))
I've created a placeholder account under this name; Nitter does not work anymore and as a logged-out user, there is basically nothing you can do much.
As a less-privacy-intrusive thing, I use this addon called Old Twitter. (Firefox, Chrome)
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. Have some self-awareness, thanks.), but I'm being respectful here, not swearing or anything.
PLEASE TAKE THESE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, THANK YOU.
If I'm wrong, then correct me please. Do this in a respectful manner, unless I'll just ignore you.
Very short version why I left Twitter
Elon Musk does weird and nonsensical changes to it; spreads (far from reality) weird¹ conspiracy² theories³. Those⁴ ones⁵ (Article), 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 for the blue checkmark (Wikipedia article, Forbes article, The Ringer article, The Guardian article)
- 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... Also, his narcissism. (2018 article))
- Elon Reeve Musk (53), acts like he is not an adult (How about to be a real man, and maybe don't cry and throw around tantrums all day long, hm? Man up already. I don't mind if you do, when do you play Video Games and whatnot, but this? Come on. This does not belong in politics or running a company here,
or being in the US gov...You should know better. DO better. This ain't a circus.)
Of course, this isn't a complete list, gathering more good, reliable sources.
I'll still deadname X Twitter, like Elon does with Vivian. Deal with it. All hail true free speech.
