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.
