#uninstall twitter/X

[justlisalisa]

Another post while the Americans are asleep:

I am terrified. I have been educated about fascism all my life, by virtue of getting my A-levels and taking the mandatory history courses, by learning from survivors of the Second World War.

I live here, where everything that happens in America right now was perverted and brought to its ugly light in 1942. I see memorials of the war and its victims every time I walk past my city's train station. It's a harrowing sight, yes. But it's necessary.

I resist. I criticize. I would love to hide and run away, but I have to persist. If I can stop even one person through meaningful discourse from voting for fascists in the February elections, then I will. I will call out Nazis. I do not tolerate intolerance.

I am so tired. I am just one person. One, deeply flawed person with lots of their own wounds to heal at this time. For anyone else who feels like giving up: I understand. I also want to.

But we can't. We can't let them win. We can't let hate and fascism win. If you can't fight for yourself, fight for your loved ones. Your pets. Your friends, who may be the target of heinous racist acts under these politics. Because, once everyone is gone, the people who endorsed this behavior are next.

Please don't give up. If you won't, I won't.

There are so many times I want to say something. Anything. Longing for connection. But at the same time, I feel like I have nothing interesting to say. I know I’m not a show pony, I don’t need to perform to an audience. I just wish I had more to share and talk about.

Yooo I got jumpscared by twitters new logo, fr thought my phone installed a virus..was about to uninstall until the realization kicked in 😂😂

[princesshaymin]

Welp r.i.p Twitter - you had such an iconic run.

[onestepbackwards]

I've been following the Unity situation and its so fucking insane like holy shit. We have everything! - Absurd fees for devs! That may or may not be retroactive and illegal, but we won't say until you cause a stink about it! (We totally aren't shh we wouldn't break the law. Totally :) ) - Getting rid of one of their levels of subscriptions during all of this, The 'Plus Plan', and allegedly putting you on the more expensive 'Pro' subscription if you auto renew! - Insider trading! Selling their stocks not even a week before they released this new change in their company! x x They've since backpedaled from what their original plan was. Originally, they told everyone that every Install, reinstall, dlc, demo, and pirated copy would now cost a fee (with few exceptions, such as charity games and bundles) It's not hard to see how this could tank an indie company with ease. Mad at a dev/company? Just mass install/uninstall. Now they are apparently saying that 'nonono! We only meant the original install :)' Which also opens the door as to how they are tracking installs. They so far have seemed to be avoiding as to how on earth they are going to do that without breaching privacy on a computer. Especially when it could just be easier to make a fee based on purchases, but no. x

So you know, don't worry guys, they have their own 'proprietary data model.' But so far (As i type this, or am aware of) have not given details about how that model works. When asked about stuff such as Xbox Gamepass, Unity mentioned it would be Microsoft paying for the fees. As of now, I have no idea if Microsoft was even told this, and I doubt they are going to agree to it either out of nowhere. x Another fun thing, is if you change your Unity plan, you are added to the revenue threshold immediately. Interesting that this is after they sneakily got rid of their Plus plan, which a lot of devs seemed to use.

And interesting enough, they seem to contradict themselves from their QnA and their official twitter post regarding Demo's and Early Access, or at least tried to be sneaky about the wording?? x x

They won't charge for demos or early access, until they do, apparently. Or if the demo has data that can be transferred to the main game, anyway. Unity also claimed this would only affect 10% of its users. Which is funny when you look at all the Indie devs and studios who are coming out on twitter saying that this actually directly hurts them. Not to mention all the people that have spent years learning this engine, for themselves, or so they can apply to companies using it. And now all of that was just spat on by Unity themselves. There's also the games that have been out and are built on this engine, and can't just be tossed and rebuilt. Such as Among us, Genshin Impact, Pokemon Go and the Diamond/Pearl remakes. Overall, it's a huge mess. Unity majorly screwed up. I'd recommend looking into what games you like, and if they run on Unity. If you don't have them yet, you may want to purchase them so they are in your steam library, or whatever console you play on. With the uncertainty of all of this, I wouldn't be surprised if some companies delist their games on steam. If you buy from them now, you'll still be able to support the devs before Unity implements this new fee plan. Plus, since you paid for them, they will still be on your console/in your steam library. Please stay safe ya'll, and support your local game devs during this storm. They need it.

After a while of trying, I ended up uninstalling Twitter again. That app is not for me lmao.

On the other hand, though, I am feeling quirky and want to make a new HCs post of creepypasta. So...

Creepypasta characters soft spots*

Featuring: Jeff the Killer, Jane Everlasting, Nina the Killer, Homicidal Liu, Sully, BEN, Eyeless Jack, Laughing Jack, Laughing Jill, Candy Pop, Jason the Toymaker

* bear in mind I make them a tad bit fucked up in the head, so beware (though it IS Creepypasta)

Tw: slightly graphic canibalism description, mentions of abandonment trauma, canon like control freakiness on Jason's part

Jeff The Killer - expressiveness and not being easily intimidated

Jeff is a pretty... Expressive guy, to not say a huge asshole with a big ego. And even though he might not say it, he does admire someone being expressive. It took him a long time (and a mental breakdown) to start expressing himself how he wanted to. If he meets someone that is expressive be it verbally or physically, he will end up circling around them more often than others.

Hand in hand with that, if the person is not easily intimidated and has the courage to talk him out of his mean comments, he might as well ask to be friends with them. As much as he denies it, he enjoys not scaring someone by being himself from time to time.

Jane Everlasting - housekeeping skills and good music taste

Jane is not the easiest person to get along with. However, if you know how to work a stove, and knows that x product is better at cleaning windows than y, she finds than entertaining. She misses Mary so much, and having someone that reminds her of Mary, it warms her on the inside.

This is more of her being a bit of a nitpick, but she despises having to deal with screamo or those techno songs. She deals with it too much from the others, so having the chance to listen to classic romantic ballads, or some soft Jazz while reading a book, by her fave person's side, and not having a complaint at all? That's a dream. One that seems so far away to her reality, being near so many emos

Nina the Killer - foot on earth and alternative fashion

If you stayed even 5 minutes with Nina, you would understand why she appreciates someone hard on reality. Nina is easily enthusiastic and also impulsive as fuck. So having someone to keep her from breaking the whole house down, or to make sure she doesn't throw someone out of the second floor window, it really helps her out in the end, and she knows it.

Nina, although she is slowly getting better at keeping this down, is still a bit obsessed with Jeff, so alternative styles like emo and her beloved Scene style, it makes her feel like she is right up her alley. She would pick matching fits for you two, and also make a whole blog just for pictures of you two with very 2000s core stuff. Plus: hot topic dates.

Homicidal Liu - respectfulness and good cooking skills

Liu has gone through a lot of traumatic events, all his life. Some he holds the memories, after alter fusion, and others... Not so much. But what he does know is that disrespect towards his person, and what he has gone through, is something he doesn't want to go through never again. So being respectful, in the sense of not narrowing him to DID guy, or to murderer, it makes him genuinely happy.

Liu misses his family, even though it wasn't the best family. It's been 11 years since he lost all his family, so sometimes he will try cooking food that his parents used to make. However he... Is not the best cook. He tries, he really does, but it's not his thing. So having someone put the time and effort to do this small act, of cooking him the food that he misses since a teen, it makes him have butterflies. Plus, seeing his lover in an apron sounds cute in his mind.

Sully - strong morals and dark humor

Sully may share a body with Liu, but he is still his own person, as an alter. And most importantly he is the system protector. It is his role to make sure no more trauma is suffered. So, having a lover that understand that and agrees with him, it is a sight to behold to him. And most importantly, having someone that understands and respects the boundaries he puts, which are many, is important for him.

Now... The system is rather small, and so Sully is a trauma holder alter. But... His method of coping with that trauma is mostly through dark humor. Jokes about his trauma done by him or the body, is the way he knows how to cope and, in his eyes, not turn into a monster like Jeff, which he despises. Having someone letting him indulge in his not healthy but necessary coping mechanism, and even joking around with their own problems, it ends up in a great pair for him.

B.E.N._drowned - Sass, nerdiness and night owl

BEN is not really a human, and although he sometimes can be very human like due to the Moonchildren Souls, the one in control is still the Behavioral Environment Network. So he has the power to be as mean as he wants and not feel remorse. Though as a behavioral AI, he can react in many ways depending what his code finds most fitting. He didn't start liking sass, but after being around Jeff and collecting data to act based on that, besides the souls, he ended up sassy, and enjoys now having sass thrown back at him. It is a familiar environment, which is something he sometimes need.

He is based around on TLOZ, and his souls had that common interest besides other games, so of course he wants a gamer to fit with him. He doesn't sleep, so having someone also be a night owl and stay the whole night spending time with him, letting him learn their functions and behavior, it makes him enthusiastic, as much as malevolent code can be.

Eyeless Jack - Patience and a hard stomach

Jack, different than a lot of the others, didn't want to be here at first. And as such he isn't the easiest to approach, sometimes being plainly reclusive, and others being aggressive. Having patience but still perseverance to approach him at his own time, and let things go in his time, it makes him trust you even more.

Jack, as we all know, is a human eating being. Not sure cannibal is the right term since he isn't a human anymore, but I'll use it for now. As a cannibal, it is not easy to be around him sometimes. He is not afraid to eat in front of others if needed, or to harvest organs out of a human carcass. If you can endure at least the putrid smell of organs and blood, than you will find EJ to not be he worst to be around.

Laughing Jack - playfulness and clingyness

LJ is, as we all know I assume, a clown! So what would I clown like to be around? People who know how to have fun, of course! Playful battering, joking around, a good sense for a performance, this are all things that, summed by playfulness, make Jack feel alive. The feeling of succeeding at making his lover laugh till their cheeks turn red, it is a sight to behold to him, so having a good sense of playfulness makes things a lot easier.

On the other hand, Jack was once abandoned for years in his toy box. He grew to feel lonely, sometimes even around others. Having someone being close to him, even when not the best option to do so, and the feeling of being wanted all times. It does magic to the clown.

Laughing Jill - good sense of humor and optimism

Jill, like Jack, is a big clown lady and as such, she loves to make people laugh and have fun! She isn't the fondest of the more mean plays, but she does love striking jokes around, so having a good sense of humor is the best option of a pair for her!

Although she was made to be happy and make others happy, she can have negative emotions too. But having someone that will make sure to let her know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and give her the care she gives to others, it is truly special for her.

Candy Pop - chaotic nature and being laid back

Candy is to an extent a genie like entity. And as such, they love to bring chaos, and distort stuff to their amusement. And as such, having someone that matches their personality is what they want. C'mon, who doesn't want to see what can happen if they inflate their head like a balloon? I do.

As such, someone strict to the rules, and someone that wants them to be in line at all times bore them if not anger them. They need some semblance of freedom. Being laid back, doing your stuff when they do theirs, and uniting forces to end get out of trouble, that's love to them.

Jason the Toymaker - size difference and art appreciation

Jason is someone that likes to feel in control of any and all situation. He is a manipulators, so making sure he is the one up top, it's what he wants ever and ever. Having someone smaller than him, it gives him a semblance of control, even if only illusory. It plays in his control freakiness.

As a toymaker, he is an artisan. He loves to create intricate toys, which are pieces of art in itself. Having someone that appreciates it and praises him for it, it boosts his already inflated ego. He might plainly squeeze you for your praises, as a thank you.

That's all I got for now, might do some others plus the proxies on another post.

Reminder that it is cool if you don't agree or like these, y'all can have your own opinions and it is very valid! This is how I like the characters (aka sick in the head).

[therealsaintscully]

I am once again reminded why I uninstalled the Twitter/X app from my phone. It's easy to believe humanity is nothing but a heaping pile of trash scrolling through it and it's very depressing.

[uncannypartycrasher]

im trying to move away from x, formerly known as twitter, as they say. I'm currently trying to learn values (and in general how to paint) and I decided I'll do that by doodling random screenshots from games every day. So I thought "Why don't I post these on tumblr, so I can make myself use the platform more and uninstall the demented hell that is whatever twitter has become?". And since Bloodborne turned 9 yesterday, I decided todays doodle to be the moon presence intro cutscene, which is my favorite shot in the entire soulsborne franchise.

[mikuspurpleflowers]

Should i uninstall twitter? (X)

[bluewolven]

Ugh, deactivated my twitter (oh, I'm sorry, X) account and uninstalled the app (don't worry, you didn't miss anything, I didn't post). It hadn't brought me joy in a long while anyways, I don't think I'll miss it.

[orionsangel86]

I woke up this morning to see that my twitter app had updated to the stupid X. I immediately uninstalled twitter. Sigh. I'm not having Elon Musks idiotic rebranding glaring at me from my phone home page no thank you. My last link to twitter is now over. I won't be using it again at all, not even to take a glance here and there.

[celtamaru]

hi again

I remembered the password LOOOLLL

I'm in a process of detoxing myself, so, I uninstalled TikTok and Twitter/X

Probably I'll stay here

So... Hello guys :)

[transfaguette]

As an able-bodied (under question, I am more tired than average but still) nd person ty for your post, I feel safe with you. My ADHD really affects my life, I'm in uni and failing miserably and if I didn't have a partner, I'd be worried for my life that I will be homeless. A lot of posts here are super ableist towards us, like I see "It's okay to be unable to wash yourself" "It's okay to be visibly disabled in public" but then are super hostile to ADHDrs even though you relate to them so hard. I just saw 2 hours ago a post saying "ordering delivery can be for good, like physically disabled ppl not just for a twitter ADHD users" excecutive dysfunction causes me to make the order for 6 hours, I need to eat too. Almost uninstalled this app that prides itself for being THE space for nd people. I hope you have a lovely day

i’m really glad <3 . i have also been on the receiving end of it for other conditions and I hate to imagine people feeling the same way I did. My goal really is not to argue with the people who say those things, because often times they’re way too absorbed in their rhetoric to care or listen, but just, let people know you don’t gotta listen to them.

its just part of the push and pull of the internet, x group becomes more visible and starts advocating for themselves, and some begin to perceive that as unfair. the important thing to remember to break that cycle is to remember its just individuals. its easy and tempting to extrapolate that behavior into something inherent to x people, but that’s silly. learning to tune out the shitty people and putting the kindness into the world you want to see is very useful.

[renesassing]

Whats the best sites for an artist to use? You seem to know a lot about that topic and i heard that sites like instagram and twitter/x arent that viable for artists anymore

i'm sorry for giving the impression otherwise, but i don't think i'm a very good person to ask about this. tumblr is basically the only site i actively post my art on and i also sometimes post on my instagram as i remember to do so as people who know me irl (from college, work, and my local art community) follow me there. i used to be on twitter but i haven't been on it in ages, and i downloaded tiktok once a over a year ago and uninstalled it after a few weeks. then there's a bunch of other apps like bluesky, or artfol, or cohost... also like. apparently ko-fi is kinda like a twitter now?? fuck if i know. (i hope you're realizing how unqualified i am to answer this)

also, i don't quite understand what you mean by "for an artist to use." what exactly is your goal in posting you art online? are you looking for a community of peers? are you looking for work? full-time? part-time?

||UPDATE/PINNED POST!||

||I FINALLY GOT ACCESS IN THIS ACCOUNT, I WAS PANICKING AND I THOUGHT THAT I LOST OR SOMEONE STOLE MY ACCOUNT AND EMAIL! Nope, I uninstalled the app for no reason, but finally I managed to get my account back by typing my recent username on my priv Twitter account. So how you guys all doing? Sorry for not being active in this account, I was highly active on Twitter/X. Right now, I’ll at least post something that I’ve already posted on Twitter. It’s mostly gonna be doodles I’d done on IbisPaintX and also, I haven’t drawn anything full colored in a while since at the end of May.||

||Anyways, I’m glad to be back in this account, I might aswell say my full introduction about me while I’m here typing this full on paragraph about me not being active and accidentally deleting Tumblr off my device.||

||♥︎||

||Hello, I go by as ame (kim if you’d like to call me). I’m quite shy, quiet, and silent when it comes to talking or posting my artwork. I mostly talk and comment a lot on anyone who comments on any of my posts, mostly I don’t if I don’t feel the need to. I am 18 years old and go by any pronouns if it’s fine for you all and my nationality, I got a COUPLE (seriously…) 🇰🇷🇻🇳🇺🇸. Most of my English grammar was somewhat broken, because of my rough childhood that I’ve been raised by my speech pathologist and having trouble speaking, but I’ve been getting and trying my best to express and communicate to others the right way.||

||For the art, I drew a lot of times doodles, comics, and animations for both IbisPaintX and Procreate. I’m also began learning how to draw in an anime style on Procreate since it’s quite easier for me to do than in my tiny ass device.||

||Anyways enough with me chatting, here are my username socials you can follow on different platforms: ||

||♥︎||

Instagram: mintasi_ <- old main… new main -> soon…

Twitter/X: _pffi

Discord: soon…

||♥︎||

||Fandom interests I’m in: ||

~ Cookie Run

~ Pretty Blood

~ The Battle Cats

~ Project Sekai

||I’m also will be willing to be busy in school soon for next week, so I’ll not be as highly active cause of that. Anyways, I might add more of my introduction and update incase I needed to bring out.||

||Well, I finally am back and it’s nice meeting you all again :>||

Edit update: Soon I’ll start working this Friday so just an fyi!!
