Don't do this. Delete your Xitter account and use Mastodon instead.

Xitter

In my head that's pronounced "shitter"

[–] [email protected] 61 points 2 years ago

That is indeed my intent.

I'm seeing equal parts shitter and exiter.

Man I never had a Twitter account to begin with, lol. Any Internet site that wants my ID can eat a dick instead because I will straight-up close that tab and 360 moonwalk right out the door.

I got a mastodon, but there's nothing there.

You have to work to populate it.

Do you mean nothing as in your feed has barely any posts? Or nothing as is there's no one interesting to follow?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Give it time. With both Xitter and reddit trying to kill themselves, and Threads dead on arrival, adoption of both Lemmy and Mastodon is going up.
