How courageous of him. Getting a lot of NPC vibes from this site.

seriously macrumors got a huge npc base when it comes to extreme cult to apple and a random hate for some South African dude
 
Most will not actually quit, and the people that follow through will be back.. Just like they didn't leave the USA when they said they would. All the "quit" talk just shows what an echo chamber it was and that nobody really wants any opinions other than the ones they cuddle up with on their tear stained pillow..

The fact that everyone needs to talk about twitter 24/7 is telling. When I quit something I don't need to virtue signal that I quit it.. lol
Quitting a social network cannot be compared to physically moving out of a country. Besides, as soon as another platform comes along, Twitter will become a memory just like Friendster, MySpace, Vine, Google Plus. etc. The only reason Twitter gets so much coverage but not much actual usage is because the media uses Twitter as their own content creation studio but even they'll tire of it soon.
 
I thought part of his Truth Social deal is that he cannot post comments on any other platform or at least do it on Truth Social first. Otherwise he puts their IPO in jeopardy and would owe even more money than he currently owes. Trump wouldn't reject any platform that could collect him more money from dummies unless it could harm his finances further.
Trump is not one to hold himself to the terms of deals he's agreed to. He's rejecting Twitter out of ego.
 
He’s in good company. I deleted all 3 of my twitter accounts a few days ago.

Maybe this is the start; if Twitter fails because so many of us abandoned it, perhaps we can start looking at our other social media platforms - which I happen to think are mostly poison, particularly for those who aren’t discriminating in what they read (which is most of us).
 
If Schiller is making a political statement, that will be the end of his Apple career I suspect. Apple as you all know is very sensitive to the staff at any level but essentially that level deviating from their (Apple) norm.

As for Trump, he is all in with Truth Social. To go back to Twitter is like saying Truth Social is no good. But being the loose cannon he is, you never know what he will do next :)

I don't know how iron clad the agreement is, but Trump promised that he would exclusively post on Truth Social, would he not be in some breech if he goes back to Twitter?

Update: OK, it appears that the agreement states that Trump has to post on Truth Social first and must wait six hours to post anywhere else including Twitter.

Now I don't know how much money Trump has tied into the whole Truth Social company, I am not turning this thread political, I just don't know how you run for President without Twitter.

Why is this even news? Do we know for sure he closed his account for the reasons being stipulated or maybe like many he just wanted to close his account for no reason at all. People open, close or hibernate their accounts all the time.
