Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇

mastodon.social/@heiseonline/1…

It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

If you want to remove your X account but are worried that someone might register your username later, do this:

1. Open 2 different browsers in their private windows
2. In the first browser: Log in to your Twitter account.
3. In the second browser, go through the account creation process, add something like "Deactivated" as a name. Skip everything else.
4. On both: Navigate to Settings and privacy.
5. Under Your account, select Account information.
6. Update your Username to something different.
7. Save the changes.
8. Immediately rename the other "Deactivated" user name to your own username.
9. Take a full data backup
10. Continue on deactivating the real now renamed user.

By altering your username and email, your original handle becomes available for immediate use so you can register it to yourself as an "empty shell" account.

I just proofed these instructions working by finally deactivating my account. Haven't posted anything this year.

I will not spend any thought ever again to Truth Social, Gab, X and dark onion websites. They are all the same - not healthy for anyone. Please leave now.

After last night, staying on #X means you trust that Elon Musk will not hand over your posts and personal details to whatever Trumpian agency wants them.

For example, Musk could build a list of DC/VA/MD residents who use specific anti-Trump hashtags, then identify and retaliate against any that are federal employees.

There are no battles to be won there. I'm wiping my account this morning.

It's time for charities and for-good organisations to ditch X - a platform which helped grow and fund the Trump campaign - and move to alternatives where they aren't at the mercy of a single persons politics.

As a start, we're excited to be featured as an organisation which can help in this @BylineTimes article

There's a lot of hard work to be done, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work.

Elon Musk May Be An Illegal Immigrant!

Musk Could Have US Citizenship Revoked If He Lied on Immigration Forms

The richest man in the world appears to have worked in the US without authorization. According to experts, if he did so and lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be denaturalized.
