Actually I won’t hold my tongue. Elon Musk single handedly killed my company’s most popular and lucrative app overnight without warning. His actions crippled us to the point where we’re still struggling to survive today. As long as he owns Twitter I won’t be back on X. I don’t care which Apple execs or anyone else who’s on there. I don’t care there are 10x more “people” there than on the Fediverse. Even if it becomes socially acceptable to support Musk’s X I sure won’t.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Solidarity. Not going back. And I’m starting to research the tools I’ve seen hinted that might let me put specific people’s posts into a Tapestry feed that I want to read (only 2-3 people actually) so I don’t even have to open the X app any more.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social @mark@tapbots.social I’ll never support X, SpaceX (starlink), or Tesla.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social yes. It's a matter of quality over quantity isn't it.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social "is Fuentes on Twitter?" Yes. Nick Fuentes is on X (Twitter) under [redacted] His account has approximately 1.3 million followers as of October 2026. He was originally banned in July 2021, briefly reinstated in January 2023, then reinstated again by Elon Musk in May 2024.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social @mark@tapbots.social the day he did that to you was the day I left twitter (probably should have earlier).

LOL. Hey Apple tech writers…you can say his name. "John Gruber". See, that wasn't difficult.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Just here to mindlessly (not really) tell you that I think he deserved every word of that post, and I'm glad you didn't hold your tongue. The day that app disappeared was the last day I made any effort to keep up with my account there. Many people didn't follow; I wish them well.
