Stephen King is leaving Xitter.

yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.

I thought he was into horror?

Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.

Good luck.

TECTONIC SHIFT

I'm leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

Follow me on Threads

so, nothing has changed.

This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y'all understand that it's more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain't the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it's the same thing is fucking insane.
- We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.

"Relationship ended with Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg is my best friend now."

You clearly don't know anything about Stephen King's politics and social positions.
- Apparently neither does he.
- I am perfectly aware that he's a shitlib.
You're mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans' problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.
- If you don't like weird billionaires running the show and pushing political misinformation, don't use Facebook.
  
  Threads was awash in bullshit "hacked at the tabulation level" election conspiracy theories following the election. It may not be MAGA, but it's still making people stupid.
  
  Meta even has Project 2025 people on staff helping run Threads: https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/why-did-meta-just-hire-this-ron-desantis-approved-project-2025-alum/
  
  Stop using social media run by billionaires of you're tired of getting fucked over by the ruling class.

Not to say people shouldn't leave Twitter, but like...this isn't going to devastate him. He's in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.

Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.

Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.

Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.

Boom! Mic drop! Stephen King EVISCERATES loser Elon in this EPIC post on X Formerly Known As Twitter!

[gif of that person clapping, you should know which one, everyone posted it endlessly every time Chrissy Teigen or those Krassenstein fucks threw some meaningless shade] hats off to this brave hashtag Resister for doing something that everyone should have fucking done three years ago at the very latest

I’m done, fuck everything, fuck everyone

at least there is competition these days, unlike during twitters rise

At this rate, Twitter worth will be in minus soon.

Doesn't matter, he got what he paid for on November 5th
- while he's well and truly in the black, what he paid for was banning the Elonjet account. Everything else was an after thought.

The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.

The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.

If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.

"I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they're just too toxic"

Honestly.. 🙄🙄🙄

He's going over to Threads, which is only a slight improvement.

He can fuck off for legitimizing and enriching Musk's Twitter for two years and then leaving after it's too late to do any good.
