it's a lot about the mental aspect. And at no point did I attempt to force anyone to do what I say, do not put words in my mouth it is rude. Being more blunt is sure to make some people uncomfortable but discomfort is not always a bad thing. Without discomfort no change happens

So your approach to this is to do effectively nothing differently. Still, many people do not use/hardly use platforms other than X, and what I wrote is mainly directed at them. And I've even had people that do not make any money through X refuse to leave, so it's not just about money

Calling someone condescending and in the same message telling them "they're going about it all wrong" is ironic, isn't it? And if you can label me approach as all wrong, that would imply you know what is right, it'd be nice if you share it.

To make the change rather than waiting for others to do so first

people not understanding the reasons for moving, they're stuck in a cycle of "this is my last straw with twitter" and then lowering their boundaries and standards again and again to justify staying, and many people are stuck in this loop because of each other, they each have to be the one ⬇️

I do not want to reinforce the idea that moving off of X is impossible for artists as I've seen far too many reasons why that's a fallacy and far too many examples of people who left and are happy with that decision. I spoke in that tone because I believe November 2025 is a point in time beyond ⬇️

All 3 reasons you listed are inherently selfish and concerned with your own comfort, rather than your moral integrity. I hope you actually think about what I said, rather than get defensive, but if you chose the latter, I won't be engaging

2 for anything private and update related Discord is a common option so again do not need X for that
3 you can survive without your fav artists for a bit, if some of them truly still upload to X only them losing following will inspire them to move, you'd be doing them a favour long term

I'm sending this with faith that you are not egotistical and have some self awareness, just want you to think about the things you mentioned as reasons.
1 nothing is stopping your friends from using bluesky so that's a hollow argument, they can say the same about you and then you're in a loop

Are you perhaps going to listen to the angel on your shoulder and let today be the day you delete X for good c:

So still gonna make excuses on why you are there at all or is today the day you stop gaslighting yourself and finally delete your X account

I saw his bandana white squares as teeth which makes him have a goofy expression and now I can't unsee it :3

This composition with the slightly tilted head and half-wink is really silly, feels like he's waiting for you to join him at the table to discuss beyblade consumption, and is slightly impatient why haven't you already :3

*warm kitty hug* ^w^

I am so sorry you had to go through all this, you didn't deserve it, and you're incredibly strong for still pushing through it all. I wish you the best, you deserve a break and you will get to see brighter days if you continue to stay and not give up, which you seem to be great at by this point 💚

Thankyou for the chance, not sonas but if you'd like some unusual characters I'd he honoured if you chose either of these two goobers :3 If you do, feel free to go crazy with Aaron's robot eye it doesn't have to look exactly like in the ref :3!

Why it so cheek :3

I only need like 100$ for new lenses but it's 100$ I just can't afford right now and it's really been stressing me out, my finances are really not great and my family does not want to help me. Thankyou for reading this all

Very aesthetic I love the hair and shading :3
