I just canceled my Twitter account (Vanity)
01/08/2021

Posted on 01/08/2021 4:59:11 PM PST by llevrok

I've been in Twitter almost from Day 1. Not that I post anything or have more than 10 "followers". It was used as a news aggregator mostly.

However, with the banning of many in the last few days, and the "mysterious" missing followers many are reporting, it's time to hang it up.

Off to Parlor, although I've heard Apple is threatening to no longer support the Parlor app on their phones (I use Android so maybe I'm safe for now).

The damage being done to freedom by the left and their media this week (especially) is one shot away from total war, in my opinion

“I use Android so maybe I’m safe for now”

Google’s dumping the Parler app.

Good for you. I am also off FB and now deleting WhatsApp groups. Gmail can be replaced by Proton Mail. I’ll be deplatforming the fascists, not the other way around.

I plan to delete Twitter tomorrow. The steps seem simple enough.

I’ve done the same.

This is a coordinated attack on free speech across multiple platforms.

Pretty soon, conservatives will be relegated to the dark web.

CCP in America.

I did the same but I think banning tweets here, from Donald Trump Jr., Bongino etc is an error. We need to hear from those people even if it was a tweet.

I’ve never been in Twitter. How does one cancel?

You’re not paying for it.

I would begin posting the following or variations therein, to see how fast you get banned.

-

Joe Biden was not elected president and is not president. He is illegitimate and does not have the authority to represent the United States because a president cannot be elected by election fraud.

-

Make them delete your account.

Show a photo of Rosie Ruiz with the above.

The good thing about android is, it doesn’t matter if Parler isn’t on the Google app store. You can still install it.

The President had an enormous reach on his social media accounts. He never would have been elected without social media. They are making sure it never happens again.

Only swamp approved candidates may apply.

How did you go about deleting it? I’ve been trying to do that this evening and I can’t figure it out. Thanks.

I admit to using Amazon, Google etc.
We are going to have to raise a massive boycott and cancel those accounts and stop buying from Amazon etc.

It’s coming to that real fast.

Anyone who opposes statehood for DC, or the Green New Deal, etc, will be branded a “domestic terrorist”.

I’m not leaving Twitter yet. There is still some useful information there. Like:

Go Trump @GKeile

When you can get back on Parler it works like this:

Trump & others will have the GOLD BADGE. That’s how you know it’s not a fake account.

People like me who got certified have red badges. That proves I’m legit and who I say I am I’m just not a “super star” even though I am

From unsecure, unverified sources? I don’t do anything sensitive (personal info/finances) on my droid phone, but I sill wouldn’t risk it.

he got elected by campaigning and going to places in WI and PA and MI and talking to those blue collar dem workers about jobs and manufacturing.

he didn’t win because of Twitter.

that’s hardly anything you can’t get anywhere like on here.

Twitter is the devil and you’re staying.

this is why we lose.

As I said, from about 2005 I used it as a news aggregator (sports mostly).
