Joe Hardy @blokeonwheels.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Advice please lovely people, I’m seriously considering binning off Twitter entirely, I just feel so attached to everything I’ve built there after nine years and two months. It’s just full of toxicity and not in anyway enjoyable. 76815
Albert Lee @albertl.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Keep your account open so nobody can snatch up your username and impersonate you, but just leave. Don't post, don't reply, don't open the app or webpage 000
Mark Kelly @gluewhichbinds.bsky.social · 08/01/2026It was the best thing I did. Didn’t regret it at all. Just wiped my account. My partner did same but only recently and was more reluctant but doesn’t regret it now. Most of your crowd are here and you’ll build more friendships. Just get your friend Shazza to do the same. 😊👍🏻 070
The Watchful Cook @thewatchfulcook.bsky.social · 13/01/2026After the Grok debacle, I am gradually coming over here and binning Twitter. Just hope all the good guys are here! 000
Rockula @rockula.bsky.social · 08/01/2026There's no good reason to stay there Joe. Anybody decent you know has already left and come here or elsewhere. It's a Nazi cesspit. Bin it. Bite the bullet. 030
jaglin.bsky.social @jaglin.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I stepped away but I have now deactivated my account. It's sad but time to go. Leaving what you have built and what you know isn't easy but if it's a toxic shit show that feels wrong......think about what would you advise other people? Hugs x 020
Claire est limpide @doodleslave.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I still mourn Twitter. But I pine for the place it was, not the hellhole it became. I'd never go back. 020
Tim Burnett @tritim.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I was in a similar position. But then I realised that I hadn't logged into Twitter in 6 months and wasn't missing it. So I closed my account - or, rather, started the 30 day process to close it. Yes, there are tweets that I wrote that were good and possibly historic but it is time to move on. 030
David Porter 🇪🇺🔸🌈 🐈 @porterd.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I deleted my account a while back. Never looked back. 010
Gina Louise 🌱 @ginarina4.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I popped on Ex-Twitter last night. Oh my goodness, are there really that many ugly minded people on this planet? It’s scary. It’s as if some humans are void of soul. I deleted the app. Elon Musk has such hatred, same as Trump. All those followers that side with them, it’s a massive, ugly cult. 000
ChrisJ @chris17jn.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Hi Joe - good to see you here! Just do it! I know you have a great following there and doing it will be a wrench. I procrastinated for all the usual reasons but have finally binned it as I didn’t feel In all conscience, I could stay there. 030
AllFord Take the bloody Two! @afnotbricktop.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Do it Joe. You’ll feel better for it. 000
Minimarsbar @minimarsbar73.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I've left recently as it's an awful, sick place. Let the racists,pedo supporters, right whingers & whatever the hell Grok is, have their echo chamber. Im having no part. My only sad thought is my imaginary bff's @marina-purkiss.bsky.social & @jemmaforte.bsky.social don't follow me here! Sad times 🥺 000
Dawny B @dawnbritten.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Joe my account was tiny but it was still really hard. I don’t regret it one bit. Get rid I say xx 0180
Rosa @rosalindanne.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Just cut the vile stuff out of your daily life. Do not support the mf who bought US election. 020
craftyprimrose.bsky.social @craftyprimrose.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Twitter is a toxic cesspit. It's easily time to pull the plug. When I first left I missed my people, but a lot of them also migrated and I found new folk. What on earth are the benefits of remaining on a site that facilitates the production of orn images of the corpse of Renée Good? 100
SpiderGirl Countess of Web @magpiemama.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I was the same but left when Musk took over - don’t regret it, don’t miss it. Didn’t want to support or be involved in anything so toxic and demoralising 000
Jim F Aaarrgh👻 🔭🍻⭐️⭐️ 🌳 @jfritte.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Get it gone mate, you won’t miss it. It’s easier here! 010
Old Hag @xaraptor.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Please BIN OFF twitter / X. It's a cesspit owned by a racist. 020
Mark @markio.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Morning Joe, good to hear from you. My advice would be to just do it and do it now. You will not miss it as you have a wonderful platform on here to interact with your friends. 020
Tony Deighton @tonydeighton.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Most of the people you connected with are here, i decided i needed to commit, do I deleted my twitter a/c. I don’t regret it. 020
Kane Clements📎 @kaneclements11.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Hi Joe. Nice to see you here. By staying on X you, your following and all the great work you have done is legitimising Musk, X and the septic AI product of Musk’s personality - Grok. X doesn’t deserve you. Maybe hide your content and pin a post saying you’ve moved and why. 030
sedleybryden @sedleyb.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Good to see you here Joe👋 I have missed your posts Come over to the light for good You can easily build up you following again Tell everyone where they can find you Hope you, mum and dad are keeping well #Disability #ToriesGone522 #WeDidntVoteForThis 020
Dawn @justanotherdawn.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Then you have your answer. I know, that's easy to say. I haven't deleted my Shitter account yet, and I don't post there or read it any more, but there are people who haven't made the switch who I still miss. 000
andyjrouse.bsky.social @andyjrouse.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Same, but I feel better and enjoy life more ➡️🗑️ 010
Martin 📎🇪🇺🏳️⚧️ @martinmto.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I'm keeping my account but spending more time here. I only use my notifications feed. Twitter is faster for geopolitical news, more global and a few very good friends aren't on here much. Also, the #hashtag games are still so funny, I love them. 000
DoctorDee 🇺🇦 Слава Україні @doctordee.eurosky.social · 09/01/2026You've said it yourself "not in anyway enjoyable." So why would you stay? And staying there legitimises hatred and misinformation. It's more fun here. 020
Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 08/01/2026I left in November 2024, it was hard at first but I got used to it, I've missed you, so please take up residence here. 030
redranger27.bsky.social @redranger27.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Do it. The grok image disgrace, the racism, the hate etc etc and most of all the bloody bots. 🤦🏼♀️ 000
Virginia @virginiagjh.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I left October 24 never looked back it became just horrible 030
Linda @lindyloocody2.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Get out. I hadn't been on long and only had a small amount of followers but it was the best thing I did. Slowly but surely stopped going on and then after Musk's antics binned it off completely. And it's only got worse since. 030
Mr RobertBob @mrrobertbob.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I left Twitter just after Musk took over and it turned rancid. It was a difficult decision but I’ve got no regrets. It was the right thing then and even more so now. 060
Tenchi Boohki👻🏴🇪🇺🇺🇦🎃#FBPE #REJOIN @tenchiohki.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I binned mine too. I was there for 11 years. 010
supertroller.bsky.social @supertroller.bsky.social · 08/01/2026You're last sentence should be all the advice you need. 000
Sir Garfield De Umfreville, Baronet Bywell @gazzalw63.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Just get off Joe, it’s like leaving an abusive partner in reality. The shit you get on there isn’t worth it, you can’t make a difference on there anymore, those days are long gone. Leave a farewell giving your reasons so they know another goodun has had enough. 000
Antikrish (UTFR MUFC) 🇾🇪 @antikrish.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Time to bring Malteser reviews over here. 010
Jarl Graham Kirk. Photo of me 1965 @grawitmik.bsky.social · 09/01/2026It took over 9 years to have 30,000 followers over there mate. You already have 21,000 here! And the good thing is those 21K are real accounts. You are liked, respected and loved Joe, there and here; but here you won't be attacked by trolls, botts and cnuts! Not advice, just observational truth. 040
Tania Doney @taniadoney.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I left over a year ago, Joe. I've never regretted it. It's much nicer here. 000
Baltimore Canary @baltimorecanary.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Binned it a year ago after a similar length of time. No question about it being the right decision. Probably would feel the same about leaving this country. But that's a little more complicated. 010
FourQ ♿ 🇵🇸🏳️🌈✊🏿🏳️⚧️ @fourq.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I really want to close the account but we met, fell in love, & even sent wedding invitations through twitter. In reality the account's there but I won't use it. Too many memories invested and I'm not going to let that fascist cunt take that away. I'm happy to not use it but want our memories active 100
Ed Honnegan 🐝 #FBPE #RejoinEU @edhonnegan.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I couldn't get of it soon enough. I'm quite surprised everyone hasn't binned it 010
Tarquin @tarquinfauntleroy.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Hi Joe, It is tough to leave something you've built up for so long, but let's face it, musk has smashed it all to pieces. This might be hard to read, but that place is only going to get worse. Much worse. If a social media site is that toxic & making you miserable, then it's time to leave. 1/2 1130
Chrissalis @christine-lee.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I closed my X account last year and I've no regrets. I don't want anything to do with Musk and his toxic agenda. Occasionally someone will send a link to something on X that I can't access, but it's a small price to pay to escape that vicious nasty world that Musk revels in 020
Stevie D @stevieinselby.bsky.social · 08/01/2026If you start posting regularly on here then you will quickly build a new following (I say "new", I would imagine that a big chunk of it will be those of us who also followed you on Twitter!). It's a much more positive experience here, far less aggression and antagonism, lots more lovely people. 000
Macca-Harri @darkhorse9.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I know it's hard, but it's a toxic cesspit mate, this is a far kinder place, we are more lovers than fighters here! #AllYouNeedisLove 020
Cinders @cinders001.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I left about a year ago missed some people for a while but most are now on here and the negativity isn’t go for it! 030
Jan Robinson @jaro4man.bsky.social · 09/01/2026No doubt you’ve heard similar, but I still keep an eye on twiX because there are people on there who don’t use their 🦋 accounts. Some of them I really like. I’ve decided not to respond to anyone on there however. This is my main social media, but I haven’t got as many followers as you. 🙂❤️ 000
Soph0571 @soph0517.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Joe lovely to see you here, binned my account after Trump got his second term and best decision ever, this is not a perfect place, but it so much better. Obvs you get the odd bot and troll, but over all the experience is so much better 010
Tim the Raver @tg59.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Just leave, delete. I did over a year ago. This is not a hedge to sit on. 000
Rebecca Lewis @lewisrebeccac.bsky.social · 08/01/2026This place will be better with you on it more often. I deleted my original account cos I didn't want to give Elon a penny. 020
Suffolk Sue @ruralsuffolk.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Just leave it Joe. I left a couple of years ago and it's got worse since. You can rebuild your community here quite quickly as many of us are already here and it's so much more pleasant and enjoyable. 030
sonja @sonjajaja.bsky.social · 09/01/2026So nice to have you pop up on my feed again here! Same with another couple of accounts that I followed before I left twitter. Be brave and you'll rebuild here in no time. 020
Kin @kinlovesmusic.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I also note you have over 20,000 followers here, so you're doing great under this blue sky. 000
Kin @kinlovesmusic.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I could also say that an end will come to us all and there is nothing we can take with us, so doing what feels right in our heart and our gut is worth more than accumulation of wealth, influence or followers. Community, now that is a thing worth having and we need to build it where it can flourish. 000
Kin @kinlovesmusic.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I can recommend this lil snippet...youtu.beCharles Bronson’s Savage Wisdom to Tom Hardy 💥YouTube video by Kovacs 000
cher76.bsky.social @cher76.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I have just set up account and followed you on here! I’m considering binning X/Twitter over the Grok thing. Yes, I know other Apos can do this but Musk’s response isn’t good enough. 010
Annette Molesworth @acmdigger.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I don't miss it at all, but I never had the level of involvement you had. It isn't what it once was. 010
SomersetWhovian 💙 🇺🇦 @clairecopperman.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Dear Joe, I had nowhere near the following you have over there, but I find I get far more engagement, and very few trolls / bots (the latter are easy to block). You've already got loads of followers; post more, and you'll soon get more - and hopefully others will follow you from Twitter. 1/4 120
Iain Clucas @iain.clucas.uk · 09/01/2026Doing the same Joe, but without the number of followers and interactions. 16 years of posts, and decided to delete (not the easiest task) all posts and images and just leave an empty profile. 000
Mike Sutherland and BravehoundGabby @sutherlandweb.co.uk · 08/01/2026Why the fuck are you still there? Just leave! 010
Tim Altmann @timaltmann.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I think you answered your own question. I was worried about losing all my followers. In the 30 days it takes to deactivate an X account I pinned my intention of doing so and that I had moved to Bluesky. Apart from what it does to your mental health there is no moral argument to stay on X. Do it. 060
Joe Hislop @joehislop.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I thought I’d miss it. I didn’t. And neither will you. 010
Cloudzo @neilmacleod.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Joe, it’s great to see your posts again. I left the dark place early last year, and you’re one of the voices I’ve missed. I suspect many of your followers are already here, and I’m sure you’ll find more before long. Twitter is horrible. Its owner is evil. You should leave 000
Karen O’Mahony @karenomahony.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I left twitter ages ago. This is a much better site, though a bit US centred. 020
Marsha @alfiesmum13.bsky.social · 08/01/2026It’s become toxic, Joe but I’m still there for now. I won’t let others push me out. 020
TeeDixie ✊🏼 @teedixie.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I stopped using it in Nov 2024, kept my account to refer back to (to find people and timeline of things etc) but I don’t post, don’t like, don’t RT. 350
