I can’t leave Twitter again unless I go back.
I don’t think trying to convince people is going to do anything anymore. Everyone who was ever going to leave Twitter already has. Anyone who still uses Twitter after everything that’s happened will immediately dismiss this Toot or anyone saying anything resembling it as baseless fearmongering. What’s the point?
most people shut it out and go “lol I don’t care, it doesn’t effect me”
If you explain the effects of late term musk-ism they’ll probably care more. Though then again I thought eating pets in Ohio was a joke and here we are…
Even before… all this… anyone still on Twitter was an asshole.
Stop visiting the Nazi bar.
Super serious job of CEO for three different billion dollar companies is so time consuming that he has spare time “to work” as a head of a government department, as well.
This makes me think that maybe CEOs don’t actually do that much.
That’s were the real AI job losses will be.
A chat bot agent to deal with most of managers concerns, and a dashboard of tickets for those the agent can’t reply to. The last remaining CEo sits Infront of their dashboard and views tickets, get background and relevant info, and makes a decision based on what’s presented.Seriously, imagine 1 person having the responsibility, being well compensated, and has literally everything presented in front of them like some homer-simpson-working-from-home type thing.
So many VP and CEO salaries could be saved, and let people get back to actually doing useful work.I’d hate to be the AI “prompt engineer” that spends their day typing “you are a CEO of a fortune 500 company…” type system prompt, tho
It’s so funny that you think the humans that temporarily exist as the extension for the insane mega hate entities that are trying to destroy the world are controlling the vehicle that they are in haha
Just stop using Twitter. I’m so glad I erased myself from the Internet and I would encourage others to do the same. Thought crimes are actually going to be a thing, because America is now fully fascist. Some people will find out what it’s like to live in a fully authoritarian country. Don’t be one of them if you can avoid it.
Twitter and all of the other sites you left still have your data. It’s just not public. The internet is forever unless the company literally nosedives and all of their servers are wiped. And even then, there might be some backup on someone else’s servers.
Well, yes, of course. Are you suggesting people stay on twitter because it’s too late?
I’m saying it’s too late to erase yourself from the internet. The best you could do is not make it worse for yourself, which would involve quitting Twitter.
But if there was any indication on any social media site that you’re queer, even if you think the data has been erased, you could be in big trouble soon.
Well I never really used Twitter much and stopped years ago. And I realize I cannot totally erase myself but I did a pretty exhaustive job a few years ago. Trying to maintain as much privacy as I can. I can’t erase the past but I can abate my concerns moving forward
Twitter has been a right wing revenge honeypot since melon head took over.
whatever data anyone has (google, facebook, your employer, your bank, the credit bureaus) basically belongs to trump’s nsa, fbi, cia, etc now
And the stasi! Don’t forget the stasi!
Worth remembering that if you send something to an external website, what they do with it is completely outside of your control.
Trust no company with your information.
I post photos online, and despite the fact that the platforms (Tumblr, and I think Pixelfed too?) scrub exif data, I do it manually anyway.
Pro tip:
exiftool -overwrite_original -All= file.jpgIf it’s a photo on my phone, I have location tagging turned off… but I definitely take a screenshot of the photo anyway. The lower quality doesn’t matter to me if I can easily just remove EXIF data.
Can twatter app not also track location, and use mic & cam at will?
If you’re still hanging out with Nazis you deserve whatever happens to you.
Keep in mind that we’re in an echo chamber here. We see and read stuff that most people don’t care to know about, and we communicate amongst ourselves without considering the people who are outside of our echo chamber. In the same way people last week were googling about Biden dropping out of the election, a lot of people don’t know what’s happening with a lot of things around them. It doesn’t make them bad people, just ignorant.
I did.
I’m on Mastodon and Bluesky. My family is the only reason I’m still on Facebook.
Same here. Facebook I am still on only because of a handful of people I know are there.

Don’t take this wrong, but I am going to pick on this statement in particular. This is mainly the reason that we are all in the position we are in right now. No one can be the least bit inconvenienced and are allowing third party companies to just rape our privacy and then turn around and sell it to the highest bidder. I mean hey, I have a handful of people I know too, and I just use the phone to connect with them. If you have facebook loaded on your phone right now you are giving them all the data they can scape about you just to keep in touch with a handful of people. I am willing to bet the app is running right now collecting data on where you are at this exact moment, how long you have been there, if any data they have access to has changed like contact info for anyone in your contact list and not just your handful of people, calls you make or receive, etc. I could go on and on down to the level of how long your screen stays unlocked. Everyone I speak with about social media has an excuse of why they continue on with total disregard for their own, and other’s privacy. Yes, people I know that are using facebook exposes me to their system by proxy. I don’t know what it’s going to take to wake people up out of this, but it sure looks gloomy and as long as people are making statements like this, and not actually taking action nothing will change. Again, sorry to pick on you in particular, but damnit, it’s not that hard to keep in touch with people and not supply some company with a treasure trove of YOUR data.
Tell them they can find you someplace else.
If you insist that I breathe burning tire smoke to hang out with you, then you’ll stop insisting that so we can hang out somewhere else, or you can hang out without me.
Facebook messenger. Every keystroke is recorded. Go ahead, as for your data from Facebook. Every keystroke is logged.
Facebook Messenger is the worst way to be communicating right now.
Now is the time to migrate yourself and your people to WIRE or Signal. Your messenger people will likely only move once, if ever.
One way to encourage this is by simply refusing to be available by text on anything but WIRE or Signal. They will eventually give in and use it. You can still FaceTime, and for free, via Signal or WIRE.
