In light of obvious and agressive censorship of the POTUS. The time has come for us to move on from Twitter.
I just deactivated my account, and it feels great. Note the account will auto delete 30 days after deactivating.
I encourage you to delete your account also, these companies need to pay heavily for these outrageous actions.
From what I understand there are some alternatives: Like Gab... https://gab.ai/
One need not have a twitter account to read twitter posts. Another approach is to be a silent member. I’ve had a twitter account since 2009, made 2 tweets in all that time, both of them in 2009.
*** Are you saying the Twitter is censoring POTUS posts? I have read nothing about that. ***
They are censoring positive replies to President Trump’s Tweets to give the impression everyone hates him.

Also, his tweets don’t always show up in his followers Acct’s
Twitter also “unfollows” people that their users “follow”.
Twitter is committing suicide.
I have tried signing up with GAB
twice over the last several months but never received any kind of response
The obvious thing to do is not delete your twitter account yet. Not while Trump is still using it.
Save that kind of action for later, in case twitter needs to lose several million accounts all at once. If they go against Trump.
I deleted my Facebook account because Facebook gathers information and is very intrusive. I’d rather follow Trump on Twitter. Mark Zuckerberg is a Globalist, force for evil, why support his company?

Weird. I signed up months ago. It said it might take up to two weeks as I was number eleventy kazillion or something, but it only took a couple of hours.
I think I tried signing up right after Milo was permanently banned from Twitter. Gab was swamped, and IIRC, I didn’t hear back from them that time.
Since I am more familiar with Twitter’s user interface, I tend to go there, but they routinely have unfollowed me from David Seaman, Laura Ingraham, and other Conservatives or unfollowing me from pizzagate/pedogate investigators , and have been displaying tweets from antitrumpers I don’t follow into my feed. These are not retweets from people I follow, either.
Trump should move from Twitter to FR. No more 140 characters.
I do not one who posts them but it has pictures of him and sayings. Never thought of the age angle. There was a cute picture of Donnie taken a few years ago with his Grandfather from one of the Trumps. He turned 8 recently. One of the cutest videos was the one of President Trump walking to the helicopter with 2 grandchildren. I have liked many Trump family pages. It is the best way to get real news. I have icons to many Trump Twitter accounts on my screen.
I love FB for keeping up with family and friends plus conservative pages. No one I know uses Twitter. I have friends from when I started school in 1950. I also keep up with college friends from Mississippi State University. I keep up with relatives, too. I love seeing the pictures from them. One of my high school friends recently posted a picture of our last living teacher. She was 90 and everyone loved her. A few gave her a party since her husband died a few years. I really enjoyed seeing pictures of her. I recently became friends with one of my late husband’s cousins. She and her family live in OK. FB is what the user makes it.
I got an account in less than a day. Try again. It is worth it.

For each of those I can send you a dire forecast for their future :)
They are getting hit by Trump supporters and a ####y business model :)
Only fools buy stock that is falling because “it has to go up again sooner or later”.
So of course people I know who i BEGGED not to buy at 60, 50 40 and even 30 are wondering what happened. Dolts.
I love them but they are dolts.
I would like to see Trump have an app developed for all platforms and have his own message board. Screw twitter.
I have gab invites. I think it bumps people up to the front of the line. Looks like it just takes an e-mail. One suggestion is to try your spam folders in your e-mail first for the anything from gab.
Those are the real strengths of Facebook. I have never gotten in the habit so it was easy to cut the cord.
Deleting your twitter account means you will no longer be able to support Trump on Twitter or meme the leftists (which is quite fun).
He can always change platforms.
They are already throttling his account. I think his followers are growing so quickly (about 100k every few days or more) because people are simply going to the source rather than relying on the constricted retweets.
By directly viewing his tweets from outside the twitterverse, we remain in contact, he retains our attention and we exist below the observational platform of Twitter itself. Note his tweets are routinely posted as stand-alone threads on FR and T_D. Trump is not solely reliant on Twitter to promulgate his tweets. Also, he brilliantly manipulates the MSM into repeating his tweets when they go on rants against them. Trump is a ‘Great Communicator’. He will connect with people, one way or another. He is adept at forcing others, especially his detractors, to spread his words far and wide.
If he goes to gab.ai, so do we all. Twitter is already in trouble with declining value. Migration of 25M+ Twitterers would be felt in the corporate HQ.
The anti-Trumpers are simply outclassed. When all else fails, he has Trump Television on YT. If YT decides to delist his channel, he has vid.me. The internet itself is endlessly proliferating and new platforms arise all the time. An example of this is the variety of archiving sites. New ones spring up overnight as the elite futilely attempt to take down one or more archive each time it is used to protect information from a purge. I think of all of this as alternative universes that spring into being from inflection points. The anti-Trumpers themselves create the inflection points with their relentless attempts at isolating POTUS, whose base simply migrates en masse to the nearest alternative or creates one.
“Trump is a ‘Great Communicator’. He will connect with people, one way or another.”
Right you are.
“In light of obvious and agressive censorship of the POTUS”
If POTUS tweets have been censored, why hasn’t he complained about it?
I’d bet there are many, many, many kids under thirteen on F.B.
My two youngest have been on it since they were about ten years old. My wife always had their pass words and monitored their accounts closely for several years.
Both still at home and I doubt that she checks at all, now that they are ages 18 girl and 17 boy.
Our other 4 kids range in age is 42-48 years old.
