“Six years ago, I found myself face to face with a white farmer preparing for the government to take his land.

This did not happen in South Africa. It was in South Texas, and it was because of Trump…”

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

MASSIVE LAYOFFS EXPECTED AT CNN—RATINGS PLUNGE AT MSNBC

Younger people aren’t watching televised media, and legacy outlets lost the rest of us by ditching real journalism. We stood by as they boosted Trump. Election night—the final straw! Folks checked-out.

Trump to House Republicans this morning: “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say he’s so good we got to figure something else out.”

And so it begins.

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.

And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.

There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.

If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

MAGA is going to chase you over here. They'll chase you where ever you go on social media. They can't survive without making you miserable. Why do you think Truth social failed? They need conflict. Don't give it to them and don't engage. Bluesky has amazing block functions. Block them into the void.
The slow trickle of MAGA folks over here underscores how much their experience of online is entirely dependent on people getting mad at them. It also underscores how even they, given the option, would rather not hang out with themselves either.
