I did it. It felt like what I needed to do today. After careful consideration I kept my account on twitter (I will call it that as long as its owner misgenders his daughter) so nobody can grab the handle and pretend to be me, just locked it and unfollowed everyone, even if it was hard and brought back a lot of memories, many good, some not so good.
I left the message
"Who I am is where I stand.
Where I stand, is where I fall."
Twelfth Doctor
Supporting democracy, LGBTIAQ+ rights and human decency. Not supporting fascists. I keep the account but lock it and unfollow everyone.
Where There's Tears There's Hope
Stay safe, everybody!
And I really wanted to have the message "not a follower" on there even if it meant two clicks for every one of the 872 accounts.

@Firlefanz It was hard. I was only consoled by the fact that at least @floofpaldi @QuokkaMocha and @DoctorMonkey2 came over here with me.

@strangeseawolf
Yeah. I lost quite a few connections when I left Xitter. I will say that finding you guys made up for most of it.

You are a true fighter for what is right, Wolfie.
I also posted a message today. I want to vomit really. That speech...
Anyway, I don't want to leave Twitter to the bigots completely yet. But I am considering locking my account there too. Basically, I only check it for news on Peter and use the groupchat to stay in touch with friends there.
Most of them will go to bluesky or not leave at all though. :(

@DoctorMonkey2 @Firlefanz @floofpaldi @QuokkaMocha Yeah, I am considering at least installing a bridge to Bluesky so people have already a point of contact once this platform is turned over to the fascists which it undoubtedly will.
For the rest... yeah, I am thankful that you are keeping touch with the Peter stuff there I just wonder why they all don't at least consider going to Bluesky. I just can't support someone who openly tries to influence elections in other countries in favour of fascist parties.

The only good thing is that over at Twitter I see lots of people posting anti-Trump stuff on my TL. So, there's hope for humankind at least.

@DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, still makes Musk money and gives him power. He doesn't really care about the content, he thrives on the engagement and nothing is more engaging than drama and hate. It is a well-working concept that brings him money, even if the world goes to shit because of it.

@strangeseawolf You are right of course. I am just sort of relieved that even in that cesspit there are people who understand what today means.

@DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, that's true. Well, we hadn't even a chance to not elect him and still we have to bear the consequences. Not as direct as the people in the US of course, but we might be the victims of a war that might be happening if he gives Putin free reign.

@strangeseawolf My only hope is that he won't necessarily be able to really do all the crap he announced.

@DoctorMonkey2 @strangeseawolf he can only do all the stuff he announced if congress lets him. they can say no.

@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, well... that would mean people with values and principles doing the right thing...

@strangeseawolf @lunar_fang I live in hope. Very weak hope but hope. :11111:

@DoctorMonkey2 @lunar_fang You do well. I am thinking if I shouldn't start posting new chapters very soon, just to deal with the nonsense around us. I might not be able to do that in February since I run a course, but perhaps beginning of March. We might need that.
