How to Delete Your Twitter (And the Social Media Sites You Should Log Onto Next)
Popular Mechanics via MSN ^ | 11-7-2022 | Tim Newcomb

Posted on 11/07/2022 4:24:55 PM PST by willk

So, Elon Musk isn’t your ideal corporate leader, and you want to delete Twitter? You’re not alone. Since the Tesla CEO completed his $44 billion acquisition of the social media site in late October, Twitter may have lost more than one million users, according to estimates from Bot Sentinel, a company that tracks behavior on Twitter.

If you’re concerned about hate speech and disinformation, or you’re just not excited about the potential of shelling out cash to secure your blue checkmark, simply avoid the platform altogether. We’ve got you covered for both how to delete your Twitter account and where to test the social media waters next.

This Popular Mechanics article came from MSN Auto News. The MSN site is full of anti-Elon Musk articles. This is supposed to be a site about car news! Popular Mechanics has been taken over by leftists? Who knew. He is becoming the leftists new Trump.

It must be difficult to be an editor at Popular Mechanics.

They have to simultaneously be anti-Elon and pro-Electric-Car.

Sucks to be them.

Popular Mechanics a leftist publication? Who'd have thought?

I used to take the magazine back in the 1970s and 1980s. Back then, it was not political at all.

Popular Mechanic was synonymous with Dad. I read it from cover to cover. Dad had the encyclopedia that came out in tb early 60s. I gobbled that up too.

Just like Scientific American magazine. All publications must be usurped.

“If you’re concerned about hate speech and disinformation, or you’re just not excited about the potential of shelling out cash to secure your blue checkmark...”

Or if you don’t like the idea of people with opposing opinions exercising their freedom of speech...

Isn’t this the rag that featured an article about the right way to topple a statue during the riots?

These effete and entitled celebrities think they’re harming Elon with this move but they’re wrong. I don’t believe it’s his intention to misuse this platform the way the democrats did. I read somewhere that he intends to use it as a component to extend his paypal interests.

Never joined Twitter, Facebook Instagram, etc. Tried Parler, then when it was knocked off the internet, I joined Gab. Waited for Truth Social to allow access via their website earlier this year, then joined, but deleted all of them because I really don’t see what social media sites offer. For me personally, they are a waste of time. Been on FR almost 25 years, and find this site the most satisfying.
