Also, don’t leave your account unused, delete it. User and follower numbers count.
And least as important, reply (if necessary to another corporate mail address) every email with Twitter/X in the footer, with a kind request to stop promoting and facilitating X.
You must log in or # to comment.
The US president would want to use such a social media platform…and he does so very frequently.
Run by a literal Nazi
Who? A lot of people apparently. And basically all companies. And more or less all government institutions in all countries in the world.
Since few weeks I’m replying to all mails with X in the footer (newsletters as well as email signature of corporate mails) to tell them it would be great if they stop promoting this crappy outlet. Concise, polite and motivated.
From roughly half of them I didn’t get a reply yet. From the other half, a MAJORITY reacts positive. We all should know, the MAIN reason most organizations are still there, is because someone decided so in 2010 (!). They never thought about it afterward, because their audience / customer ‘never asks for that’.
Be. That. Customer / Reader. Who. DOES. Ask. For. That.
That’s a very good idea. I’ll also ask them to get off Facebook as well.
If nobody was doing it, it would be a strange thing to pay money to put in an advertising space.
It is a strange thing to put money into it, considering not even csam is enough to make at least eu institutions to go away from x.
Seems like musk can do anything he wants. What’s worse than this?
I’d argue putting it into people’s field of view could sway an individual, and if one person can be moved, more could follow.
That side already proved that boycotting works, in their disgust of a trans-indivual advertising beer, and certain groups being mortally offended that folk could suggest BDS actions towards Israel.
It’s a good day as any to move to Mastodon.
That’s true, but Bluesky is also 100 times better than X and probably a more feasible/realistic alternative for all kinds of companies/sports clubs/government agencies/etc. Although I prefer Mastodon in principle, I am quite sceptical about the chance that it will be seen (by the general public) as such a good alternative to X that they will actually consider themselfs being able to leave X.
No, Mastodon. Bluesky is repeating the same mistakes
Repeating mistakes, taking years to drop a platform owned by a nazi to just run into the next US platform ready to be bought by some other billionaire Nazi… nothing was learnt, was it?
The problem with Bluesky is that it’s essentially centralized, with all the related drawbacks.
Bluesky will turn to shit, just give it time.
For those of us with the knowledge, it’s our responsibility to both sell the idea of Mastodon and help onboard people. On top of that, there’s many guides, at this point, about how to get involved, choose an instance, set up your feeds, etc.
It’s true that Bluesky is a much more seamless experience, because many options are hardcoded or pre-chosen for people, but if we can get people over the hump of making those choices for themselves, they’ll find it a much better place long term. Also, it’s strongly resistant to the antics of bad actors, so it’s a much better choice for governments and other groups. Bluesky does not enjoy the same natural defenses.
I think you know the answer…
I think I made an account years ago (before it was acquired), never used it, and proceeded to forget the login details 🤦♀️ I don’t even think I still have access to the email address that I used.
I’m not sure how to delete that one :(
I am in a similar situation, I still use that email, but resetting the password requires more attention than I am willing to give them.
Yeah, especially since I’d literally have to download the app in order to delete the account, even if I was able to recover it…
my home feed is absolute trash, it’s mostly AI slop survey pics run by elon dickrider bot accounts. many of these accounts use grok to make elon look hot. i’m trying to start replying to different people so my home feed is slightly less garbage.
i know y’all are like “why the fuck are you it then”. i don’t know, lmaooo
As long as you’re still there, you can still provide a useful contribution by continuously replying the photo and link as attached in first message, to all companies, sports clubs, govt officials that still stay there. They’ll say you’re a hypocrite, but better a good hypocrite than congruent garbage 😉
