Stephen King is leaving Xitter.
(sh.itjust.works)
I thought he was into horror?
I don't blame him, reality is scarier than fiction.
yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.
Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.
Good luck.
TECTONIC SHIFT
I'm leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

Yeah I do this frequently. Then I randomly go back to people's profiles and often find interesting communities and threads that way.
Follow me on Threads
so, nothing has changed.
This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y'all understand that it's more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain't the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it's the same thing is fucking insane.
Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.
We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.
But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?
Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.
They aren't saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.
Right? People seems to forgot there's mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.
Zuckerberg zucks Trump’s choad as much as Elon behind the scenes. It’s kinda worse in a way.
"Relationship ended with Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg is my best friend now."
You clearly don't know anything about Stephen King's politics and social positions.
Apparently neither does he.
You're mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans' problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.
If you don't like weird billionaires running the show and pushing political misinformation, don't use Facebook.
Threads was awash in bullshit "hacked at the tabulation level" election conspiracy theories following the election. It may not be MAGA, but it's still making people stupid.
Meta even has Project 2025 people on staff helping run Threads: https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/why-did-meta-just-hire-this-ron-desantis-approved-project-2025-alum/
Stop using social media run by billionaires of you're tired of getting fucked over by the ruling class.
"I know this one billionare is a sociopath, but the others are great, there won't happen anything bad in the future, I'm sure!"
Not to say people shouldn't leave Twitter, but like...this isn't going to devastate him. He's in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.
Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.
Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.
Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.
Boom! Mic drop! Stephen King EVISCERATES loser Elon in this EPIC post on X Formerly Known As Twitter!
[gif of that person clapping, you should know which one, everyone posted it endlessly every time Chrissy Teigen or those Krassenstein fucks threw some meaningless shade] hats off to this brave hashtag Resister for doing something that everyone should have fucking done three years ago at the very latest
I’m done, fuck everything, fuck everyone
at least there is competition these days, unlike during twitters rise
At this rate, Twitter worth will be in minus soon.
Doesn't matter, he got what he paid for on November 5th
while he's well and truly in the black, what he paid for was banning the Elonjet account. Everything else was an after thought.
Pretty sure he paid to dismantle the public square, an organizing space for the left, a voice for millions, and all that sweet sweet information that will soon be used to hunt the enemy within.
Ding Ding Ding.
I lost count of the amount of times I got downvoted to oblivion for saying "He isnt an idiot manchild, he is up to something. Yall are assuming he is playing checkers badly, he is playing chess and whupping your ass"
You dont get to be the richest man in the world by being an absolute fucking idiot.
100%, and funded partially by Saudis whi dismembered journalist Khashoggi over the Panama Papers. This was an attack on the public and it continues. It started the fog of war
The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.
The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.
If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.
"I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they're just too toxic"
Honestly.. 🙄🙄🙄
He's going over to Threads, which is only a slight improvement.
He can fuck off for legitimizing and enriching Musk's Twitter for two years and then leaving after it's too late to do any good.
