Moving to Canada: ‘Leaving Twitter’ Trends Amid Reports of Musk Deal Talks
Breitbart ^ | 25 Apr 2022 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Posted on 04/25/2022 10:03:24 AM PDT by conservative98

Following reports that Elon Musk may be nearing a deal with the Twitter board to buy the company, leftist “verified” accounts on the platform once again went into meltdown mode at the prospect of the Musk, the self-described free speech absolutist, taking over.

“Leaving Twitter” began to trend shortly after the reports of Musk-Twitter talks. Observers quickly noted the similarity in sentiment to loud declarations from prominent leftists that they would move to Canada if Donald Trump won the election in 2016 (few, if any, did).

Charles Blow, a New York Times columnist who describes Trump supporters as “angry white men,” said he would “say goodbye” to the platform if Musk takes over.

“I will not stay on Twitter if Elon Musk owns it,” said former New York Times editorial board member Mira Kamdar.

James Fell, a historian, said he would leave if Musk unbans Donald Trump, who was banned by Twitter and other social media platforms while he was sill President, leading to an outcry against Big Tech censorship from leaders around the world.

Motherboard, a publication run by far-left Vice, began hawking Mastodon, a progressive-run decentralized social media platform, as a destination for disaffected lefties.

Yvette Nicole Brown, an actress associated with the embattled Disney corporation, said she would be joining a platform called Counter Social.

In a retro move, author Jeff Gibbard suggested fellow online social justice warriors return to their spiritual home, the blogging platform Tumblr.

Occupy Democrats executive editor Grant Stern took a contrarian approach, warning liberals they would be ceding the platform to “the wrong folks” if they left.

“We’re not moving to Canada,” said Stern. “Yet.”

Various other bluechecks posted some variation of “leaving Twitter” or “goodbye Twitter.”

Mastodon, a mascot that is truly past its time. Should just use Extinct for an app.

Good riddance..and forget moving to Canada, how come they dont move to Africa, I mean after all Canada is majority White, I thought commies hate white people because they are racist and stuff
I mean look at these commie freaks reacting this way because people will have the right to free speech on twitter..ya know what this is all about, its NOT about free speech, its not about Trump possibly going back on twitter(Even though I havent heard Trump say once that he even wants to go back on twitter) this is about what the commies fear most, that their power is ending..twitter is 100 percent controlled by the Dem party, whatever the Dems want on twitter ends up on twitter they control all of it, now that its ending and it will be a free platform, no more power for the commies and they are terrified

Yes, a truly vile human being.

Being that Blow has already threatened to leave, Elon's first act should be to help him along by deleting his account.

Looks like I’m about to say goodbye to Twitter as well. I’ve been pulling back a bit from social media anyway. This will be just the push I need to go all the way on this app. https://t.co/QkwIsYy6zS— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) April 25, 2022

Adieu! To all the leaving scum bags~!

This phrase means “goodbye forever” and is generally only used when you will never see that person again in your life.
