Stephen King just announced he can no longer stomach X/Twitter and is gone (to Threads), many others joining the exodus.
Here's a post reacting to King, which in turn (for the #psychology - #media - #socialscience - #socialmedia of it) has a quite interesting thread of reaction, both the "patriots" celebrating the 'return' of #truth & the vanquishing of libs, w/others agreeing, or not.
#StephenKing just publicly left " #Twitter " given how #X has become a dumpster & doublespeak/ #disinformation booster, while muting 'leftists".
As a social scientist/psychologist I'm fascinated by not only the morphing of the Ministry of " #Truth " / #TrumpVirus but by the conversation there now, E.g., reaction on the thread of this post. A lot of "you libs are back in the minority" and "Twitter was a liberal pit" kind of "patriot" posts. Elon just smiles (or maybe works on his jump shot). š¤®š¤
They are dropping like flies.
