I will start:

It was after I saw that it rebranded to "X". Set my acc to private, logged out and deleted it from my phone over the course of a day.

I asked a similar question on Masto months before, and decided that it would be great to do it here.

I only ever really got into twitter with any real frequency on an account for a character I had on a DayZ roleplaying server a few years back. In that lore we were right at the beginning of the outbreak and the internet still worked for the first few months, so we were all on twitter posting about a civil war in a non-existent country and a global zombie apocalypse. A bunch of accounts got banned for threatening to kill one another. It was fun.

I could never really take twitter seriously after that. Or before, really.
