Is it not time now for Mumsnet to leave X/Twitter?

… given everything that’s going on in the USA with Elon Musk?

Doesn’t feel like his/their values align with any of ours right now!

The expose on Facebook, "Careless People" paints Zuckerberg as someone who rivals Musk in terms of a complete lack of empathy. His behaviour is completely devoid of empathy. We are nothing but cattle to him. It's just he's not loud and obnoxious about it like Elon is, so he's been slithering about silently. The damage caused in Burma and Myanmar is catastrophic, but nobody cares.

I’m actually quite shocked that MN is still on X.

Where were you when women were being cancelled and abused and their voices silenced on Twitter long before it was bought by Elon?

What a ludicrous OP but absolutely in line with the rest of them who’ve been told who to hate by the media.

It’s nothing to do with free speech, or cancelling anyone.

Do you know anything about X/Twitter?

I know everyone is entitled to their views whether I agree with them or not and that includes Elon Musk.

Hasn't Zuckerberg and Facebook gone the same way as Musk or are you just fixated on him?

This cancel culture is getting fucking old.

Everyone I know is still on x. Who wants to be in an echo chamber

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 23/03/2025 21:17

Yes, most people I know have deleted their accounts on X now. Who wants to line the pockets of a fascist?

What the hell? As far as I’m aware this is still a free country with free speech. Cancelling views you don’t agree with doesn’t sit well with me.

If you scroll down to the bottom of every thread you’re on, you’ll see (on the left-hand side) buttons for Facebook and X (Twitter).

I didn't even know Mumsnet was even on TwitterX!

I've decided to stay on TwitterX - I like to know what the enemy are up to, knowledge is power and all that. I haven't posted in ages, occasionally comment and keep up the likes on the cat clips to balance out the algorithm.

Why not? Everyone else has gone to Bluesky. Ridiculous to still be on there.
