    That’s complete and utter nonsense.

    There are groups of people using it that have no contact with politics or anything out of their sphere of interest. I am in a couple of such groups.

    I would love to go somewhere else and I am on lemmy, mastodon even bluesky, but there are no such communities there.

      If you are a major contributor in a niche community, you can publicize your move with info of how to keep following you and syndicate links to your content on your desired platform for a set time then leave. On your desired platform let followers from Xitter know how to follow you (email, rss, bridgy, etc) if they don’t want to join your desired platform.

      If you are mostly a content consumer or have FOMO, use a bridge not an account. DM all the friends you want to keep of where to find you then leave. Bird.makeup is a great Xitter bridge for the fedi.

      In either case, there isn’t a reason to keep am account there.

        Yes, that’s why I wrote that I’m here. But it’s not happening. Maybe something will change in the future, but at this moment there is nothing anyone can to do, to move these communities.

      that have no contact with politics

      Ergo they are not against fascism. Which means they are OK with it, because they don’t care either way.
      Good job, you just helped prove the point.

        I understand you are hurt and angry.

        But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world, that have no desire to observe the grotesque circus of american politics. You are in your own bubble of people that think the world has ended, but most people in the world have different worries and concerns.

          Most people have the concern that the Trump concept is being copied to their country’s politics now.

            No. Not at all. Most people don’t think about it. They go about their business and think about their job, their kids,spouses, friends, cars, … They think about their local politics, not in relation to American. Than if they do think about american politics, they say to themselves: what a bunch of clowns, then they think of something else.

          That’s ad hominem.

          But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world

          That doesn’t change anything, whatever country you are from, using Xitter means you are using and thereby supporting a fascist platform.

          You are in your own bubble

          OK, and which bubble is that?
          Seems to me that the ones in a bubble are those that continue to use Xitter, oblivious to it supporting fascism, or accepting that it does. Now THAT’s being in a bubble.

            I see that the emotional level is too great for any discussion. Good luck to you, I hope you get a moment for yourself and have a nice rest of the day.

            Good bye.

              I see you are unable to actually argue your point, and instead choose to continue with the ad hominem.
              I’m still interested to hear what bubble it is you consider me to be in?
