Tell the family: It's time to leave X

Here's a tool you can use to tell your favorite figures on X/Twitter that you'll leave it they do

Hi!

Just a quick note as you may be traveling to Thanksgiving. When the inevitable political arguments and conflicting takes on the election flare up, here’s something maybe everyone can agree on: X/Twitter has become a vanity cesspool for “First Buddy” Elon Musk. It’s time to leave — and finally there is a viable alternative in BlueSky, which is really taking off. (And, no, this is not a sponsored post!)

BlueSky is just like Twitter used to be — just not the personal play thing of a mad man who’s openly trying to destroy your government and democracy all at the same time, and not overrun with trolls and bots.

Over last weekend, I built a tool that lets us tell our favorite people and organizations on Twitter that it’s time to stop creating content and revenue for richest jerk in the world and the new vice president of the MAGA movement.

Give it a try here: lxt.today — that’s Leave X Together, Today!

Right now there’s momentum behind asking Jon Stewart to get off X. He’s still posting regularly there. Let’s ask him to quit.

Yes, it’s important to engage people on the other side. But Elon’s Twitter is all just bots and trolls now. No one’s reaching anyone. The algorithm is basically All Elon All The Time. It’s boring. And it’s a tool for eroding our democracy and society.

Thanks for considering it. And happy Thanksgiving!
