Now's the time to boycott Twitter/X

Since Musk bought Twitter it keeps going downhill stooping to new lows that I thought were not even possible to reach. First usage of the N word went up by 500% percent Then the Neo-Nazis started coming in along with the white supremacists.

Then Grok called itself Mechahitler and started acting exactly like someone who calls themselves "Mechahitler" would.

And at this point you might be thinking could thinks get possibly worse? There's nothing worse that Elon Musk could do, right?

Wrong.

Now Grok is being to remove clothes from people especially women and even more horrifying children. That's right, pedos are using Grok to remove clothing from pictures of children.

So the question is to anyone still using Twitter: Why in the heck are you still there? Get off of Twitter and switch to Bluesky!

If you're a campaign I can understand cross posting to Twitter but really by now every candidate ought to have a Bluesky account. For everyone else especially if you use Twitter for anything other than political outreach it's especially important to stop using Twitter.

Also do all you can to urge others to switch to Bluesky too. Any platform that is allowing and even encouraging this kind of content must be turned into a ghost town.

Do you have any names of high powered Dem activists still on there? If they are reachable via a "contact us" form on their website or email I would gladly send them an email and urge them to create a Bluesky account.

.. it's been a long time now. Also People on here would say that is why they stay. That may have changed for some or many by now.

When you see the X post on here you might want to check out who they are.

Good Luck with your righteous mission, BoycotTwitter.

I know the Admin here dropped X when musk bought it.
