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.

It was just one of his juvenile stunts, but it struck a chord with me that he was a jackass and not the visionary that the media had largely painted him out to be until that time.

This is like the story about the person who sent a bag of peanuts with their resume to show that they were 'going nuts' wanting to work there. Same dumb pun energy.
