IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.

To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why "Hitler was right"

If you are still on Twitter, you are making a statement whether you like it or not.

Sadly, my kids school only announces the buses have left through twitter :/

That is fixable. Make waves with higher ups. Many in education are trying to fight this same battle. There are better alternatives, as we all know. I also work in education.

Not sure how much x makes from me browsing cosplayers posts on firefox with adblock but i guess thats how much statement i am willing to make.

More than the 0 they'd make if you left

Probably less than they make from me posting gay porn to my 2k subscribers using firefox with uBlock Origin.

not directly making money but they can keep creditors at bay by showing not so ugly MAU numbers

i'm not gonna say to anybody that they should stop using twitter right now or they are morally evil, but I would say to everyone that it would be so funny that banks took twitter from him if things declined too much

Up until this morning, I used it to keep up to date in gamedev circles but I also made a Threads and bsky account in addition to Mastodon. I'll be deleting it later this weekend.

If everyone did this…even maintaining X over a treansition period, we could all really send a message to big money.
