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.

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.
