Liberals Run Away From X Because Diverse Opinions Make Them Feel Unsafe



“Meanwhile, daily traffic to competitors Bluesky and Threads have jumped since the beginning of October.” NBC reporters spoke to six people who have left X for these platforms since Election Day. These individuals cited “growing issues on X, including bots, partisan ads, and harassment” as their reasons for leaving. Harassment likely means they were hit with a community note or someone on the platform disagreed with them.

Importantly, all six said the aforementioned issues “reached a tipping point when Trump won the election.”

In a separate article, NBC recounts the experience of former X user Kara Wurtz, a 39-year-old finance director in St. Louis. For Wurtz, “the day after the election was the ‘final straw.'” She claimed that, “under Musk’s leadership,” … X “became a place where I wasn’t really getting what I wanted out of it anymore.”

What she “wanted out of it” was validation of her own world view. Following Musk’s takeover, she was forced to hear opinions that differed from her own for the first time. That didn’t happen before Musk took over the platform.

“Every time I opened it up,” she said, “it would throw things at me that put me in a bad mood.”

Yes, the truth is like that.

Anyway, as the flight continues, some users are still on the fence. But there is one trait they all seem to share: their egos are the size of the Grand Canyon.

Michael Ian Black, whom I hadn’t heard of before today, wrote that he’s “pretty sure” he’s leaving the platform. He will “continue monitoring this account but it sucks here.”

To which one user replied: “I don’t have a clue who you are.”

All these Leftist people pretending they're leaving Twitter, yeah they'll be back. You can't spread the gospel by preaching to the choir, so all of them running away to Threads or whatever other progblog will grow tired of the circle jerk and want to let us garbage know how much smarter they are than *ack* *ptooey* MAGAs.

The paid propagandists aren't going anywhere. Their whole job is to try and convert people to their side. Can't do that if your audience is already on your side.

It’s also kinda hard to do it when you’re screaming foam and spittle in their face.

Years ago before Twitter or forums like this one, there were newsgroups and Delphi.

You could always tell the butthurt egotist prima donnas - they were the ones WHO HAD TO ANNOUNCE THEY WERE LEAVING.

You know, in a childish taunt to let people know just how awful they are.

It’s kinda like someone announcing they are leaving a restaurant loudly because of bad service.

Yeah. You get it. Asshles. NORMAL people just - leave.

Gutfeld just said it’s like leaving a crowded stadium and announcing that you’re leaving.

No one cares.

Eve Longoria is in either Spain / Mexico

See, here's the thing. They are pitching it that way, but if you read some, she says flat out they haven't been spending time in the US< but in the other two countries for a while now. So this is preening.

Now, you want to waive your citizenship, then I'm impressed.

When Joe Biden won/was planted, I had a few "friends" on FB that said "If you voted for Trump, un-friend me now."

So I did. No buh-bye, no long tirade, just find the button and hit it.

I miss their tirades - sometimes.
