This is lame. First, if you can’t stand the “right-wing” cesspool that Twitter has become under Elon Musk’s leadership, you should leave. And don’t just open a Mastadon account so you can tweet about what’s going on over there. Delete your Twitter account. If you want advertisers to stop supporting Twitter, make sure there’s no one left on it.
This sounds about as serious as Alyssa Milano’s much-ridiculed #SexStrike, or the call for men to not tweet for one day and only retweet women in order to amplify their voices. What if everyone formed a protest where they didn’t tweet for one whole week? Would Elon Musk somehow shut it down?
What if a bunch of us all left Twitter on Dec. 31? Like, around the same time? I dunno, noon ET? Think that might break the site? Think we could cause some havoc? #twitterenddate #twitterexodus #twitterapocalypse CAN WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

You personally could make it happen TODAY. Do it. Please.
I’d be kind of curious if, say, a protest in the form of a one week never tweet movement were to be organized on here, would he come up with some bs pretext for shutting it down? It’s not like he can claim safety against peaceful online protest, the very essence of free speech. https://t.co/IrMw8S9e4S

I always love when people go to the trouble to reply “nobody cares.”

Instablocking is the only way to show you truly don’t care, otherwise you’re a damned liar.

Quitting Twitter is the only way to show Musk, otherwise, you’re a damned liar.
Oh man, shit is getting serious. https://t.co/uwi5OZlqac

Please @elonmusk for the sake of mankind don’t let them do this! 🙏🏼

Don't worry. They couldn't resist tweeting about how they are not tweeting during the protest.

Anyone who engages in *checks notes* not tweeting, should be permanently banned. I love free speech, but there's a fucking line, and that's it

LOL, I love how it started, "Let's all leave Twitter!" – and then went to, "Whoa, hold on, I can't leave, I'm absolutely addicted – how about a week instead?"

Be my guest. Protest away 🤣🤣

I left Facebook a while back without any announcements .If you don't like it just leave. Nobody cares.

Nobody cares if you leave sport. You're no one and nothing of importance. All 13 of you can leave and cry on @JoinMastodon – you're not going to get your way.
Go waste your time. Go cry, piss and fart about something you won't understand in 10 lifetimes.
No one gives a shit.

Once Elon finds out he'll send an army of Twitter bots to your home to make you tweet. There is nothing you can do, you will be forced to use Twitter.

Musk is going to somehow shut you down for not tweeting? He would have to come up with quite the excuse to pull that off.
