Once again, I confirm that I have closed my accounts on following social networks: VK (V-Kontakte) OK (Odnoklassniki) and I'll not use my Twitter/X - my personal SofiaMetalQueem, my Ameynra company promo account - I posted this update on my and my company pages on Facebook but someone asked me about that, so I repeat, I don't use my Twitter/X account, do not DM me there. You can contact me through Instagram, Facebook, YouTube.
Reasons why I stopped use accounts:
1) On OK - Most of YouTube video links shared there no longer work. It seems to me that Youtube links being stopped or blocked on that platform. And a lot of negative content against my granny's homeland, hometown, etc - a lot of sarcastic things posted by users. I don't want to be there. I love my granny, and have my own opinion on ww2 history. Nobody can change my mind.
2) On VK, there is same block on sharing YouTube videos. I created both VK & Ok accounts to share my videos about my art, bead embroidery, and life in USA. Those videos are in Russian language, so I opened accounts on those platforms only to share my videos with my Russian-speaking friends who subscribed on my YouTube channel. It was nice to meet new friends and get new subscribers. We discussed art, beadworks, also how beautiful life in US, and also discussed alternative history stories, architecture, etc. My friend Alex still there, he will check for news, so only if sharing YouTube videos will be restored, I'll open new page on VK. I'll back there only if sharing videos will be restored on that network.
3) I don't want to use Twitter/X because: I don't like that lovely blue bird logo was replaced with X because for me it looks like mark "deleted" on MySpace. Each time, when I see that X, I feel that someone deleted me from platform. Also, most of my followers left Twitter soon-after it was re-branded into X. I had 29,925 followers on Twitter before platform became X. Over 23,000 of my followers closed their accounts soon-after platform was re-branded. I kept my SofiaMetalQueen account for a while, and tried to use it as before, I mean as I always used that platform: to share links to my online shops, YouTube videos and my art gallery on FineArtAmerica. But after reading a post from their team member, I mean post about stop using hashtags, I decided to abandon my account because hashtags no longer work, and Twitter/X is no longer useful for me. I opened my account in 2009, then closed it, then re-opened in 2011. I had it for 14 years. And after 14 years, it looks like if I lost it finally, because links shared there gave almost zero result. I see that posts viewed by 6-25 users instead of 50-350 views I had before. But even if 6-25 users sees my posts, they don't click on links! Videos not opens on mobile app, I see only links instead of auto-playing videos. In 2012, when I shared link to my online shop, there was picture of item. I used Twitter only to promote my shops, artworks and YouTube videos. I don't want to keep using the platform that I cannot use normally as I always used it before. I respect a person who purchased Twitter, I adore his space projects and patriotic ideas, but I don't like X logo and that share links function became useless. So I'm not gonna use Twitter/X til blue bird will back and hashtags will work normally, as it was before.
