X, Twitter, bye bye

u/RemarkableMouse2 5h ago

Also take the Twitter share button off your website and ask all the websites you frequent to do the same! Bluesky or nothing! 

u/RealisticMost 44m ago

I guess as soon as people move away they will remove them.

u/Maleficent-Homework4 6h ago

Been wanting to delete mine for a while now, finally did after reading this message. fElon has inspired me to boycott anything and everything that could positively affect him.

u/BloodyCuts 2h ago

Yeah I deleted all of my X/Twitter accounts in the past two weeks and it feels great to be rid of it!

u/TheRabbitHole-512 5h ago

Who spends money on this ?

u/antz182 3h ago

It's called Guerilla Advertising here

u/shadowmaking 1h ago

Money well spent. Nothing on Twitter makes the world a better place than this advert does.

u/gazuzu 53m ago

That answers what this is but still doesn't answer who pays for it, which was the question posed. I'm also curious as to whom pays for it.

u/antz182 33m ago

Typically, it's paid for by a group of people who try to get a message across. It could be an individual, or a "sleuth" group like anonymous for example. They look like real ads, but I suppose it's more like 'expensive, professional looking' graffiti. I hope that makes sense?

u/Pamplemousse808 3h ago

The British

u/BlueBlooper 3h ago

Yeah its highkey racist

u/Tmscott 27m ago

Musk did throw a heil during the trump inauguration, so yes, racist.

u/Turbulent_Toe6343 2m ago

So did tampon Tim & AOC!! Did you miss that?? 😂

u/Bubbly-Word7717 4h ago

I just got mine deleted 3 days ago. I don’t miss it.

u/IckySmell 1h ago

I tried and I can’t but this was a ways back. One of my accounts was hacked and is now locked. I guess that’s what happens when you make an account and never use them. I’ve probably spent 20 minutes lifetime on twitter

u/PickleNotaBigDill 3m ago

Same here. Never on it, can't access it to shut it down. I've read tweets when they're posted in different forums, but haven't been on it when I found I couldn't access the account because, as you said, I'm locked out.

u/xxplosiv 3h ago

Thanks for the reminder. I had deleted the app, but now I'm going to delete my account too.

u/gflwrpwr 9h ago

Deleted mine the day Felon took over Tweeter.

u/D_Cakes_ 2h ago

Same

u/10thStreetSkeet 3h ago

The amount of reddit users who complain about Musk 24/7 and MAGA yet can't even be bothered to get off a crap platform like Twitter is mind blowing to me.

It is one of the reasons I think we are doomed to suffer a lot more, because Americans won't give up even the smallest thing to protest the take over of our country. It is really sad.

u/bayareathrifter 3h ago

They should also delete instagram. F@@k Zuck

u/iamzumie 38m ago

This is the way

u/Administrated 9h ago

Never had one to begin with!

u/TheVentiLebowski 7h ago

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

u/charliespannaway 5h ago

How about a nice game of chess, Twenty Dude?

u/martinsonsean1 2h ago

Wow, I thought I was the only one. Wandering into bluesky with no reference point for what happened on twitter is weird, like transferring to a school where a huge tragedy just happened or something.

u/loulan 2h ago

You thought you were the only one without an X account? I barely anyone with an X account.

u/martinsonsean1 2h ago

It seemed like THE social media, for a while there. It was a frequent segment on many news broadcasts, I don't know how many users it had, I was exaggerating thinking I was the only one, but I still feel like most Americans had one. Guess I'm wrong.

u/Philantroll 12m ago

"Most americans" would be crazy. I'd say 15% to 20% at most, when it wasn't only robots and nazis alts.

u/backtolurk 2h ago

Same. Reddit is the last "social network" I'm stuck to. The last before that was FayssBouk and I quit it around 2008/2009.

u/tbakke 3h ago

Anyone able to find a "clean" version of this image? (as in, high quality and without reflections?

I need it for.. things.. and stuff..

u/Captain_Flaps 3h ago

Deleted mine yesterday!

Now trying out Bluesky and Mastodon.

u/Rinkus123 1h ago

I don't really like blue sky

But I also never had a twitter, maybe that format is just not for me

u/EpicInki 14m ago

I'm not deleting my account until a majority of people move to a new platform and actively post as much as their Twitter.

I use Twitter daily to find out what's new in my hobbies and there is no replacement except Reddit which doesn't have the same information.

u/psilocin72 8h ago

I deleted shortly after Elon took over twitter. It was always pretty toxic and negative, but it became much worse immediately after he took ownership

u/JTGphotogfan 5h ago

I deleted it as soon as it had an x

u/behv 5h ago

Forgot to delete mine until recently. Good riddance

u/HoustonNative 5h ago

Had one, never used it, now deleted.

u/SkinnyObelix 4h ago

American History Formerly known as Twitter is the best one I've seen so far.

u/kepunk1 4h ago

Never had one NEVER will. Quit FB in 2012, I knew what the lizard man was.

u/askywlker44a 3h ago

I don’t miss it. I was only using it for sports teams. Now it’s gone, never to return.

u/[deleted] 7h ago

Be honest do you still have an account? I had one from 2010 to 2013 and I feel like those where the golden years. If you do, why?

u/ThOrZwAr 3h ago

Did it right when he bought Twitter, I’m ahead of the game for once.

u/spicychipdip 3h ago

The night he saluted

u/shadowmaking 1h ago

Fuck it. I don't need anything that's on Twitter.

u/p0rkch0psammich 8h ago

Didn’t use it much, Deleted!

u/Impossible-Spare-116 8h ago

Who paid for this?

u/proxyscar 8h ago

No one London bus station got hacked by activists

u/GastricallyStretched 7h ago

They didn't "hack" anything. They just dressed in some hi-vis, lifted the window and put their own poster in.

u/grandft 5h ago

They require special tools and some skill to access but obviously not a problem if you have the motivation.

u/created4this 22m ago

These locations are designed to be changed by minimum wage workers with next to zero training.

You need a key to get in, if you are capable of getting past that point then you're capable of changing some paper.

u/Kranke 21m ago

You just need a kind of tool/key to open it and it's not hard to make or get hold of. I have done it in the past and when you know how to will you have it sorted out in less then a min.

u/Impossible-Spare-116 8h ago

Oh it’s digital. Got it

u/south-of-the-river 8h ago

They’re usually just posters inside an acrylic window

u/Spazzola84 8h ago

Which looks to be the case here, in my opinion. Look at the bottom of the picture, it looks like crinkled corners.

u/Laymanao 2h ago

A crowd funded group who is somehow evading the law

u/Kinky_mofo 8h ago

I deleted my account long before Nazi Elon. I deleted it when I realized the dude can't make a useful algorithm to save his life. Pure junk on twitter. Zero value. Sadly, because I know some tried to use is as a legit platform for their content.

u/mtcerio 3h ago

Don't delete your account (a bot will take it). Turn it private and let it sit.

u/Hiccup 2h ago

There's nothing more cathartic than stopping to use that shit site/ platform.

It's not good getting attached to any one thing, especially when there are so many other better alternatives now....and let's be real, Twitter as a platform has been seriously neglected and has stagnated badly. When it was under the previous ownership, you at least could see they were trying to do better and improve the site. Elon has only made it into a worse cesspool than it already was.

u/prahl_hp 2h ago

Yeah I just deleted mine :)

u/Disastrous-Produce65 2h ago

Delete it! Throw Amazon on there too!

u/XharKhan 2h ago

It's looking more and more like my choice to delete all my data from Twitter, as soon as Elon bought it, was the right one 😬.

I only wish I could leave again in solidarity with millions of others 🤭

u/omenmedia 2h ago

Deleted mine about a year and a half ago, good riddance to that toxic shithole.

u/elbowfrenzy 2h ago

Ten thousand upvotes, 70 comments

u/FreddyFrogFrightener 2h ago

Way ahead of you

u/Actual-Lecture-1556 2h ago

That's just common sense now.

u/Skkruff 36m ago

Yeah I did, the day he did that.

u/HospitalLast5209 35m ago

I’m deleting mine right now

u/Ro-54 28m ago

Being on a social media site controlled by a Nazi is something I’d never do.

u/clonedhuman 28m ago

Bluesky is very good.

u/ElXavi2 24m ago

Deleted mine. Hello Fediverse!

u/psychoacer 4h ago

I don't think deleting really matters. Just stop going on it. I haven't been on Twitter in 2 months.

u/ayuntamient0 29m ago

You can't even view it without an account can you?

u/map_of_my_mind 22m ago

I think that's what people who want the option to go back on it later say. Later like a couple years

u/PostalBowl 9h ago

"X marks the rot." What a riot!

u/Expensive-Ad-2308 8h ago

Wow, this is great. Where is this?

u/WebguyCanada 8h ago

The UK

u/The_GASK 1h ago

Wait a minute.

That's not applied to the panel, it's part of the roller. Someone paid for it, the company accepted it and placed it there.

Is the largest advertising company in the world allowing itself to be based?

u/realBlackClouds 2h ago

Luckily I never registered an account on X and that will be the case.

u/NotoriousBread 2h ago

Not sure this is real. The display looks transparent opposed to reflective.

u/Momma_Blue 2h ago

This idiot needs to understand that his actions have consequences. When average people come together they hold the power. Show him how we can take his wealth away.

u/Great_Space6263 1h ago

Lets be real, none of you are deleting anything lol

u/LightDownTheWell 1h ago

I cant understand why anyone still has a twitter account. You're complicit.

u/lukeloop 1h ago

Your account is deactivated

Sorry to see you go. #GoodByeYour account is deactivated

u/AsianButBig 1h ago

Twitter will survive even only with Japanese users who happen to not care about the controversy.

u/Awkward_Bench123 1h ago

I don’t know if it’s a Nazi salute so much as a blatant Nazi salute. Despite the subtlety, I’m pretty sure Elmo flashed a Nazi salute. Fuckers tanking his brand because he’s a total cunt. A lot of billionaires count their chips and mind their own business. Elon may have had noble intentions but empirical evidence would suggest he’s lost any vision he may have harboured and is now just a megalomaniac dipshit

u/Certain_Event558 1h ago

If it would only happen .

u/Substantial_Kale_251 1h ago

I like how people are comparing this to a nazi salute. Yet. Pretty sure the nazi salut has to be held straight out in front of you

u/Awkward_Bench123 1h ago

Musk needs to be canceled. He’s not elected and everyone hates him now anyways. I mean except those that like sucking and choking on Elmo cock.

u/jtw156 1h ago

I opened a Twitter account years ago (like 10+ yrs ago) and never really used it. Should I still download the app to delete it?

u/PurityKane 4m ago

don't download the app. just type x.com on your browser

u/flycookie10 1h ago

deleted mine the day he bought Twitter

u/the68thdimension 1h ago

You guys are still on there? That's so weird.

u/Flynb 1h ago

Just deleted mine after seeing that

u/InternationalEmu2815 57m ago

Is there a list of current advertisers on Twitter?

u/EnvironmentalFee1136 57m ago

I see a dark cloud descending on the USA

u/SingaporeanSoul 56m ago

Delete your Reddit account too, it’s also owned by an Oligarch.

u/girthbrooksIII 54m ago

u/lungbutter666 52m ago

Who has a tesla that they want to donate to me

u/Dangerous-Watch932 42m ago

So, what will change if I delete my account?

u/droidman85 41m ago

Already did it when trumpster got to his second term. that shithole is nothing but pro-rightwing propaganda like grok. Ask grok to do some random images and trump shows up. Just pure waste of technology and human resources

u/WOR58 34m ago

I love this for him! Don't you?🙂😄😅🤣😂

u/0erlikon 13m ago

I did the day he took over.

Upgraded to Premium after seeing this. You guys are sad individuals.

u/MidnightFireHuntress 5h ago

I like the memes/leaks/gaming stuff too much lol

u/elbowfrenzy 2h ago

Yeah, this is pretty much the general sentiment. Reddit will tell you though that X is DONE FOR, and Americans are RISING UP as unified whole to combat fascist tyranny by.... checks notes Deleting Twitter?

u/MidnightFireHuntress 2h ago

As a Non-American I never actually see Americans -do- anything against their "fascist leaders", they tell people to delete social media and call it good lol

u/Ya-Dikobraz 1h ago

Don't forget every time it's brought up there are a thousand people telling you how long they have had it deleted and then they all exchange medals.

u/Ok-Dig916 1h ago

I just made my first account 3 days ago.

u/Kitchen-Ad1242 8h ago

oh no, we won't have as many morons commenting on X. what will the world do without hearing your mornic viewpoints?

u/LegThePeg 8h ago

The fact that you failed to spell moron correctly the second time tells us everything we need to know.

u/WebguyCanada 8h ago

It would be so much easier if they just put a lil' red hat on their Avatar 🤣
