I changed my Twitter/X/Xitter logo to this.

Here is a quick step by step set of instructions on how to do it yourself.

Step 1: Logout from Twitter/X/Xitter, uninstall the app, and delete your account.

Step 2: Install Mastodon, select a server that matches your tastes, and created an account.

How do I delete my account if I logged out and uninstalled the app?!

People are still using twitter? Why?

People like to use things that are used by many people. Not that surprising.

genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?

As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter... used to be for following celebrities but i've gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).

I guess it is more following of people of certain topics that talk about them in twitter. Like someone follows few people abour their hobby, some politicians maybe, and people of other interests they have. I haven't really gotten the idea that people use it to talk to friends per say, or follow them, but for sure people do that as well but maybe it is not the main point.

Though I could be spewing shit because I don't use it. Just the vibe I've been getting over the years.

“Do this thing Elon won’t even notice while you continue to give attention to the advertisers paying him”

Exactly. This is just an ad disguised as outrage bait.

That will get him, changing the logo of an app that relies on monthly users for revenue. You showed him by doing nothing.

Better yet... just uninstall and never look back.

I'm actually trying to do the opposite. For some reason my phone keeps the old Twitter icon on my home screen while it is already updated to X in the Google Play Store.
