I don't know if this is true or not. If it's not, it should be. No one should still have an account in that shithole.

Today is the day. It’s my Day X. I left Twitter with my personal account after 10 years. The upcoming changes in X’s privacy policy were the last impulse for me to leave. Bye, and thanks for the fish! #TwitterX #leavetwitterday #twitterdied
@sufloese … in einer anderen (en) Diskussion gab es eine Art vorläufiges Kompromiss-Ergebnis:
1. Hier (#Mastodon & #Fediverse) aktiv posten (weil das natürlich auch die Anzahl qualitativer #Kultur toots / Inhalte steigert ;-)
2. Drüben (#twitter) durchaus für Info s & Kontakte noch (passiv) nutzen, aber lieber kopieren als retweeten oder cross-posten
3. Dort drüben dann aber gerne (und extra) auch regelmäßig “Werbung” für Masto machen - und/ oder bei “Kampagnen” wie #joinmastodonday oder #LeaveTwitterDay mitmachen
3. abwarten und geduldig sein (denn wenn schon auch #Medium oder #Mozilla im fediverse auftauchen, wächst das fediverse auch langsam an Substanz …
4. auch gerne außerhalb / offline aktiv dezentrale Social Media promoten (z.B. bei Museen, Organisationen, Institutionen …)
5. viel mehr #hashtags, #Followers & andere tools benutzen - aktiv suchen & folgen - ein neues Netzwerk etablieren …
was noch ?
This #sunday, I signed up to test the @ivory #macOS #Mastodon Desktop client (Ivory for Mac) through #Apple's #TestFlight.
I'm enjoying the experience. It’s like the experience I have on #iOS and #iPadOS, but has support for windowing, keyboard sequences, and more.
It is quite polished! Kudos to @tapbots! I look forward to its release!

Is the consensus that the recent rise in users is due to the efforts on #IdesofMusk #LeaveTwitterDay or is that a coincidence and there is something else going on? #TwitterMigration https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount/110050778070430284
There have been a few initiatives recently to do some campaigning about #Mastodon and the #TwitterMigration. March 9 was nominated for #JoinMastodonDay, and the #IdesOfMarch as #LeaveTwitterDay —and while these have generated some noise on Twitter and probably helped revamp interest on the #Fediverse, I have my doubts about the effectiveness of the latter initiative especially.
I see they've been calling #LeaveTwitterDay the #IdesofMusk over at the hellsite. LoL.
What would it look like if Twitter and Mastodon were music festivals instead of social media platforms? #twittermigration #twitter #LeaveTwitterDay https://youtu.be/HfU20EtgpC8
@tchambers @alexwild @spreadmastodon @noellemitchell @elduvelle Yep. I did a #LeaveTwitterDay post over there yesterday. I really cannot fathom how a lot of the folks I have followed over there have not left yet. What is it going to take?
Our analysis on the #LeaveTwitterday organic push Like #JoinMastodonDay we see the same positive dynamic.
An organized push has a dramatically bigger effect than just the original organizers. In this case:
82 Twitter accounts pushed this
226 separate posts were created
This reached an audience of 400,000 impressions or social views.
Again: proof of concept is SUCCESSFUL in my book. Now imagine if it were 1,000 organizers, or 10,0000?

Tomorrow I'll run the scans on the total social reach of #LeaveTwitterDay the same way I did last time.
@mastodonusercount Wonder if some of quick spikes today were due to #LeaveTwitterDay grassroots effort?
Did you delete your Twitter account on March 15th? Vote and boost.
Migration complete.
I wonder how many more that deleted their Twitter account today?
On this #LeaveTwitterDay I thought it might be helpful to repost this article that walks through how to review the information Twitter is collecting about you and shares with advertisers.
It was an eye opening experience for me, and explained why my Twitter feed was filled with strange topics.
On the bright side, I found out that Scream Queens and Kraft Mac and Cheese were both willing to throw money at me to grab my attention. 😅
When Ontario elected a premier I am morally opposed to, I didn’t uproot my life and move elsewhere.
Online platforms are far easier to move around in, but socially & professionally, they still function similar to a geographic location.
This is how I’m currently thinking about Twitter.

Apparently it’s #LeaveTwitterDay, which I did…
Well, my personal account is offline, I’ll keep my Beers ‘n’ Bites in Brussels blog on there for now, until automatic tooting about new posts works properly there. Do your magic, @pfefferle! 😉
