This should have been advised many months ago. Now it’s too late. Shithead won.

Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won't even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.
Agreed, but still do it
Yup. Here's what I did:
- recommend others not vote for him in 2016
- didn't vote for him in 2016
- avoided TruthSocial and other nonsense during his first term
- encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2020
- didn't vote for him in 2020
- continued to avoid TruthSocial
- encouraged friends and family to not vote for him in 2024
- didn't vote for him in 2024
See a pattern?
Truth Social wasn't launched until 2022 during the Biden presidency.
Was it? Huh, I guess I avoided it thoroughly enough to not remember when it launched.
You did vote though? Right? Right?
Yup, voted each time. Didn't matter though, my state's elections are almost never competitive. But it only took a few minutes and I voted at home, so at least I didn't spend all afternoon in line.
It's past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn't be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, "Whoops! I was supporting fascism!"
To be fair, I've been on there calling the fascists and Trump apologists out. The pennies they get from ads pale in comparison to the fact I bought a Tesla years ago womp womp 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🫤
That would require me to have X on my phone. I do not. Because I deleted Twitter when dipshit took over.
Dipshit is my 2024 favourite word.
Deleted mine two years ago.
Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.
If you are still on X yet couldn't bring yourself to vote for Kamala because of Palestine then WTF?
Haha and as a reward you get Trump. Watch how that works out for Palestine. Idiots

Can't. Even when it was Dorsey's Twitter, it was too toxic.
Sure, do it for your mental health, but it won’t do anything else now. That ship has sailed, been torpedoed, and is now chilling at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
give up social media? nah that's too hard for people lol.
Not give up. Just move away from corporate owned social media which generally has biases baked in and allows for easy manipulation by the company. The one we're on right now is not one of those and there are lots of other alternatives. Not that they're perfect, just that money and especially wealthy individuals aren't able to easily and singlehandedly manipulate millions of people by purging factual but dissenting information.
as someone who made their own instance, talk about it to family and friends and try to convince them to jump on mine, I definitely have not given up. your completely valid talking points are null and void unfortuntately, my social circles are unable to get people they interact with to jump ship as well. they just want their family and friends to see their posts and don't really care what's going on behind the scenes..
Its me trying to convert people to use signal all over again, but i won over many of my colleagues and family by telling them to jump on signal as my birthday gift years ago..... maybe I'll have people sign up as a Christmas gift for me this year lol

Never signed up for Twitter and definitely not X. Leon can give to his pals in Moscow.
Better late than never I guess.
