   Just posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.

   For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.

   I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to #DeleteTwitter.

   I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt

     @thesiswhisperer I joined mastodon in late 21 and then basically stopped using twitter, but kept the account active because some companies use social channels to be contacted by customers. I deleted the account last January, after Musk unbanned people who were banned for hate speech (which could make sense, in a way; new king, new start) and banned those who *fought* hate speech (and *this* makes no sense at all). He stated clearly where he stands. Which isn't where *I* want to stand
