I've been on it for years. Have a lot of followers. Use it mostly as a sports/politics/entertainment stream of thought type thing.

But I can't support being associated with something tied to Trump as president.

I will not go back. It's hard and Threads/Bluesky aren't equal overall but it's not worth supporting Elon and Trump.
