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). šŸ¤®šŸ¤’

Die blauen Verifikations-Symbole bei Twitter zeigten einst, dass ein Profil einer bestimmten Person gehƶrt. Nun bedeutet das HƤkchen nur noch, dass jemand fĆ¼r ein Abo bezahlt. Unter Prominenten herrscht Verwirrung.#Twitter #Internet #ElonMusk #Verifikation #Fake-Profile #StephenKing #LeBronJames
