Anne Applebaum on disinformation:

‘The essence of Putinist propaganda... is not so much that you’re expected to believe everything he says about... the greatness of Russia or the horror of Western civilisation. But you’re expected to become so confused by the multitude and number of lies that you’ve been told that you throw your hands up in the air, and you go home, and you say, “I don’t know anything. I can’t be involved in this. I don’t want anything to do with politics. I’m just going to live my life.” And that turns out to be a really, really successful form of propaganda.’

If you want to remove your X account but are worried that someone registers your username, do this:

1. Open 2 different browsers in their private windows
2. In the first browser: Log in to your Twitter account.
3. In the second browser, go through the account creaton process, add something like "Deactivated" as name. Skip everything else.
4. On both: Navigate to Settings and privacy.
5. Under Your account, select Account information.
6. Update your Username to something different.
7. Save the changes.
8. Immediately rename the other "Deactivated" user name to your own username.
9. Take a full data backup
10. Continue on deactivating the real now renamed user.

By altering your username and email, your original handle becomes available for immediate use so you can register it to yourself as an "empty shell" account.

I just proofed these instructions working by finally deactivating my account. Haven't posted anything this year.

I will not spend any thought ever again to Truth Social, Gab, X and dark onion websites. They are all the same - not healthy for anyone. Please leave now.

#X #SocialMedia #Twitter #Xitter

Robert #Habeck sagte vor einigen Jahren, sein Rückzug von #Twitter war eine der weisesten Entscheidungen, die er in seinem Leben getroffen hat. Was ist dann seine heutige Rückkehr zu Twitter? Eine der dümmsten Entscheidung, die er in seinem Leben getroffen hat?
https://x.com/roberthabeck/status/1854555038015725818

#Habeck scheint nicht zu verstehen, wie #Twitter / #X funktioniert:

Man kann nicht wirksam gegen #Musk, #Trump & Co. ankämpfen.

Im Gegenteil: Man unterstützt leider das Ganze mit jeder eigenen Aktivität, gerade auch als prominente Person.

Man ist sofort, gut gemeint, ein williger Helfer … 🤷🏻♂️

If you have not yet deleted your #Twitter account, NOW is the time to do so.

It will be part of the incoming autocrat’s auxillary surveillance services soon.

I joined Twitter in 2008, making 7,500 posts through the years. I deactivated my X account today.

I greatly curtailed my usage of the platform since November 2023, when my employer @Flipboard pulled back from engagement. And I haven't posted since April but kept it open for work reasons (to monitor news, etc.).

Why today? The U.S. election made clear how many of my fellow Americans live entirely in "alternative facts" ecosystems. I no longer wish to participate in such a platform — so rife with unchecked misinformation and disinformation ... basically an outrage machine where the algorithm rewards lies and conspiracy theories.

If you're still on X, why?

I screenshot my profile for posterity. And here's also Flipboard's 2023 announcement.

#Goodbye #X #Twitter #SocialMedia #Mastodon #MastodonMigration #Misinformation #Facts

It's time for charities and for-good organisations to ditch X - a platform which helped grow and fund the Trump campaign - and move to alternatives where they aren't at the mercy of a single persons politics.

As a start, we're excited to be featured as an organisation which can help in this @BylineTimes article

There's a lot of hard work to be done, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work.

Chiche, toutes les instances (politiques ou pas) de #gauche profitent des résultats de l'election US pour dire merde à #twitter, et ferment tous leur compte. L'argument "oui, mais c'est la que sont les autres" tombe, et on arrête de soutenir yn système pourri et contraire a nos valeurs. Allez, go! Transformons une mauvaise nouvelle en un geste positif !

To no one's surprise, Musk has ensured that Twitter is a white supremacist site:

Overall, I can recommend the web #browser plugin @libredirect. You can configure it to suit your needs and make the best use of it. It is very comprehensive for all kinds of popular #Internet services. I also recommend it for privacy-safe linking.

«A #web extension that redirects #YouTube, #Twitter, #TikTok, and other #websites to their alternative #privacy friendly frontends»

P.S. I know that some of you know and use it.
