The title says it all. If this proposal succeeds then I will delete my twitter account and the only way to engage with me will be via the #Steem blockchain. If this doesn't succeed, then I'll try again in 6 months.
Should I stay on twitter or should I go?
lol ... I think bernie seriously has a crush for me ... what have I done?!
It doesn't take that long to delete an account.
Still waiting.
That $7.77 ain't mine until it pays out remember?
Of course, but you said "if this post hits $7.77", which it did, no mention of final payout.
By my calculation of only the upvote rshares, it only reached 7.367 SBD.
I guess the price feeds could have made it display more than that before payout, but there’s no easy way to determine that without replaying parts of the blockchain.
Who fucking cares? @fulltimegeek and his votes are now worthless.
But I didn't specify when I would delete it tho. It could've been a year from now.
I assure you, my twitter account will be deleted the same day this blog pays out $7.77 or more.
You guys remind me of kids that pretended to hate each other so no one would find out they secretly were crushing on each other.
Bromance in the closet!

There has to be an anime genre for that sort of stuff.
Don't forget to deduct 25% for the curators :)
haha!
I'm sorry, but visiting the post 4 minutes in and seeing the total already surpassed via Bernie's vote. lol
ps. If my accounts flags could actually pull down the value lower than 7.77 I'd have a go, but they cannot.
Ha ha, this cracked me up as I've only recently been convinced to start doing anything with my twitter account about a month ago when I started promoting steem on twitter.
Before that I'd posted like 6 Haiku and a message about my breakfast or something. Now, my twitter wall is all about steem.
Lol, but if ya made a promise I suppose u gotta keep it.
What's the word on if enough people flag you back below the target payout for Twitter suicide? 😉
Flags of love of course like aggroed mentioned.

Who could blame him??
@kerrywolf should you really be giving @berniesanders more fuel for his spank bank?
Imagine if FTG and bernie were the same guy...
You might be on to something! I really hope that you're not.
Resteemed!
What's up @aggroed's butt?
Wanted to point out one technicality. You mentioned if it pays out 7.77. Nothing about whether it pays more or less, so guessing unless it hits right on that point at payout you will not be deleting the account.
On the off chance deleting was meant for anything over 7.77, I have flagged you to try to bring it under. Feels weird to be giving a flag, but I guess you have your reasons. I don't do Twitter or Fakebook, but figure having someone like you there is probably good for Steem.
The same practical thought, pun intended, came to my mind like 5min ago. I'm glad you caught this. I'll just reply with a clarification instead of editing the blog.
Yes, if it equals or goes over $7.77 it counts as a successful proposal.
We have an ongoing Twitter campaign initiative by @nathanmars in respect to the link777 initiative and I think it is gaining momentum. We are creating awareness for our platform and reaching out to people we won't ordinarily reach from our blockchain. We do not have to pick or choose. Both platforms can be utilities to achieve your goal.

Only Nathan can save FTG from Twitter extermination........
I'm starting a downvote campaign against this. Lol

Mars Speaks!
Ha ha, yes... Ka Boom... Monster flag of love 🏁💙💚💛💜🏁
That looks better, I had a feeling it would arrive :D
Ha ha, I've done my first ever flag also... But it feels good that it's a flag of love 😂
Also, I'm such a hippie that I sent FTG an upvote on his comment just to compensate 😎

Sadly im not that generous
Posted using Partiko Android
Doesn't seem sad to me!
😂 is this the point? To get a flag Vs vote thing going 😉 or did FTG pluck the $7.77 out of their hat? Whatever the answer, it's good to have a sense of humour about things... Especially things like this virtual life we all live on steem.
Watch this space!

Let the flagging begin. First time I'm downvoting a post. Feels good
Posted using Partiko Android
consider flagging with us :) I took 4 cents off, only 1.18 to go!
I've already flagged and to be honest, I'm pretty sure this post is partly in jest. I'm making a funny post in response to it right now.
Even if it isn't, at the end of the day anyone on here has every right to do whatever they want with their own soc media accounts. I just see the value in the humor of this post, even though I'm very actively involved with FamilySeven77, still I find FTG choice of payout limit funny. It's probably cause of the Brit sarcastic sense of humor.
Sometimes we just gotta have a good laugh at ourselves or we'd end up taking ourselves too seriously.
But having said all that, campaign 'flag of love' is about to begin.
How much longer is Twatter really going to be around though? Yeah, it's a handy tool for networking and
stalkingstaying current with @fulltimegeek (pretty much the whole reason I still go there) but it's a really nasty place and has been circling the drain for a while now. Also, its decline does not appear to be accidental. Given enough time, this whole discussion will be moot.Why would you want to delete it?, any exposure to STEEM or 'this place' is a bonus.
@nathanmars has been recently trying to get the likes of us to send posts of substance to Twitter and I for one have been doing this recently.
'this place'
LOL, I meant Steemit / Busy / Steakpeak or whatever interface you use to get here.
Sure you did.
I think having steemians strongly represented on Twitter is a positive thing. May I ask why?
Posted using Partiko Android
I feel ya. But sooner or later we're gonna have to cut the cord tho ... because it forces people to find you here. Which makes #Steem more valuable.
You should keep your Twitter to build awareness. Unfortunately we still need to build a larger user base..
I had a problem with my Steemit post being altered. Can you look into this for me? It also happened on EVERY other platform that I posted it so this is not a criticism at Steemit.. I don't think it's a Mandela effect.. I think it's an artificial intelligence control system that was purposely built into the internet... Read my newest article for details. God bless
Very true, once we have good momentum
Posted using Partiko Android
Better sooner than later. I don't see the reason why begging exchanges and other social media sites. If we have a good product they'll come otherwise we'll die of.
Yep.
@meno @fulltimegeek
I think being involved in Twitter is important, because there are many great people there such as: artists, musicians, athletes, political figures etc.
so we can discuss #Steem to them there openly.
this is only my thinking 👏
Hahaha, that was quick.
I personally can't see the reason to leave twitter, as I believe we need to promote Steem outside of Steem to attract new people, but I guess you could just create a new one. ;)
I got nothing but love for ya. I don't want you to delete a twitter account. Transisto is right that we need to share the message of our posts and community on other social sites until we can mainstream. So, for now I'd say don't leave. That's the flag. It's a love flag!
He won't do it. It's all a trick to get bernie to upvote him.
Ha ha, I think you might have hit the nail on the head there edicted 😂
Regardless, I've started the Flags of Love Campaign to try and keep FTG from committing Twitter Hari Kari.
Hi FTG, I wasn't sure what was the best way to contact you as I am not aware what chats you are available in. I find myself in need of your help, I have slipped from my top 20 witness position and could use your assistance with witness vote. Please review my post and consider voting for me https://steemit.com/witnessme/@thecryptodrive/campaigning-again-but-i-would-rather-be-building
Lol, you should have raised the bar...
Anyone who can attract new users to steem, especially large stakeholders such as yourself are valuable both here and on Twitter
I kno right? fffffffffffuuuuuuuuu ...
If you do it, I'll have to find some other way to
stalkkeep up with you. Challenge accepted! Vote away, people!Keep your account and use it to attract some new users ;)
Posted using Partiko Android
It has already exceeded $7.77 in the first 4 minutes. Twitter is where I found you. You kept using the hashtag #steem during the hardfork crisis when the blockchain was down twice and said you wanna be a top 20 witness. Twitter is a good place to promote steem, so to answer your question, you should not delete your twitter account.
Fuckbook and Twatter... Useful for now.. Un-viable in future.
I find this to be very interesting. I took the same approach last year, minus the public vote. I stepped away from facebook, twitter, reddit, and even YouTube for quite a while and swore to only use decentralized blockchain solutions(steem).. I support your mission 100% but don't get frustrated if you don't see the results you expect. It drove me nuts and a relapsed back on all social media. I also got sucked back into the social media death spiral so much so that I began to show signs of insanity lol.. and I needed a few weeks away from it all. I even chose to power down and leave steem, which I've since stopped that power down and refilled my steem power with what I removed during the hiatus. I have since come to the decision that until we can pull enough people here, place like YouTube (for me, as a content creator are important). I will continue to produce for @thestateofanarchy and push that message through these megamedia outlets.. Twitter isn't really for me, I don't often log on there for any digital socialization, but it's the spot to be for some.. that being said, if it's the place where your voice is heard, I think you should stay on Twitter because it helps steem and our community, but I support your effort and will upvote this post, because I love experiments... (evil chemist giggle)
Totally jammed out while writing this.
!gif evil chemist
Flagged! twitter needs more people shilling steem not less
I'm qualified to vote since I don't have a delegation from you yet. So I gave 100% upvote. However, from normal way of things an upvote from me is supposed to help push the payout of this post to $7.7 or above which the post has already earned, posing a threat to the existence of your twitter account afterwards.
On the contrary, my vote was for you to stay both on twitter and here on Steemit. We'll need twitter again for another massive campaign for steem in the future. A time will come that other social media platforms and their active users will have no other option than to join in promoting steem and find a way to join here by all means.
Why we're working for things to get much better here. The world needs to keep hearing about us. And we can do this together if we have online presence on these other platforms. For instance, if I start a conversation on twitter with an hashtag to promote steem in order to increase and retain no. of users here, I'll need to tag some top Steemians here including you @fulltimegeek who will help drive the conservation.
So don't delete your twitter account, it will moon alongside steem again. Soon!
What's the word on if enough people flag you back below the target payout for Twitter suicide? 😉
Flags of love of course like aggrod mentioned.
I think we need to be 'strong like Ox' on mainstream social media for the next bull run so we can poach all their users to come join steem. Please @fulltimegeek... help us make both Dorsey and Zuckerberg cry 😂
EDIT: duhhh I just reread the title... And it does indeed say it all - 'if post pays out $7.77' for a Twitter suicide.
Right flag of love on its way.
It is possible that FTG's twitter could be saved by a raft of late down-votes, but equally as possible that a round of bid-bots will be sent over to the post too.
Are you stocking up on popcorn for next Saturday? :)
I just added a "no bid-bot" condition before anyone attempts it.
Hey, that's great fulltimegeek
Ha ha, I started a flags of love campaign which I think NathanMars might have seen and added some bigger flag love than my pathetic $0.16 of love.
It's all in good fun though, your post really made me grin yesterday as when I saw it I thought... here we go, free entertainment, as everyone is gonna lose their shit.
Cheers for the no bidbots clause, otherwise Bernie might have sent you a real mammoth vote 😂😂

Ha ha, for sure it will be a photo finish between the Bernie backed horse named upvotefortwitterdeath and the raj808 backed horse named #flagforDorseyandZuckerbergtocry. Who will win? I've got strong odds on the first at this point... But there could be a late runner 😂

But where else will you see mouth watering buffalo chicken pizza STEEM posts from last year?!
Why don’t just stay on twitter and tweet this post?
Could would be a great advertisement for steem 😁
Hello, @fulltimegeek! Do you mind if I flag this post to express my opinion that deleting your Twitter is not a good idea?
Why not use Share2Steem on Twitter? Your Twitter presence is valuable.
Respect
No. I welcome all flags to this post :)
Alright, you got it. Incoming! :)
That escalated quickly...
Posted using Partiko iOS
It didn't seem right when I did it, but I took away my vote for you and also took it away for @friendsofgondor... Its a very interesting proposition, but I would rather you keep your twitter account at the moment... Will follow this one closely for sure ;)
Bernie wants you out by all means, haha
Could this be a joke or you are really serious about deleting your twitter account?
What will happen to the Donald Marshall frontline messages you tweet?
Truth about those conspiracies theory?
Think about this FTG, you need your Twitter account, it is as important as your #steem account.
Well, I think that you should have a focus and I agree with you, you have to make people want to be here all the time creating community, twitter has to be used only for a while.
Twitter is not going to change the perception of the steem people as we think, but it is what we have, we have to make a serious marketing plan with different media and with advice, if we want to attract people and the most important thing they feel happy.
Greetings friend.
Flagged with love
K
Don't do that :) we need to promote #steem a bit more and then we can disconnect from centralized world. Just a bit more :)
Posted using Partiko Android
My four cents cant change the situation.
But no problem ,,after deleting you can make a new one 😜
Actually you can post to the STEEM blockchain using Twitter and the #share2steem tag.. but no you shouldn't delete Twitter.. use it to promote STEEM..
Twitter is evil. Full disclosure, I hardly ever use Twitter so I don't care, but I think it is unredeemable

Wait .......... stay on twitter and promote #steem!

Why not put your twitter account to good use instead.

I'm gonna add a "no bid-bot" condition right now ...
Don’t delete it, but put a “Moved To Steemit” sign.

What a challenge! It is fun reading through the comments...
On the other hand, Steem and Twitter have different primary purposes but both have the social networking platform. While each of us has our preferences (and sometimes we can not manage or juggle between different platforms for valid reasons), there is also the great opportunity to leverage each platform for the benefit of each too. An example of such is the Twitter hustle that @nathanmars has led to market Steem out to the world.
The option does not have to be an "exclusive or." I think leveraging with "inclusive Steeem or Twitter" will work out great. 😊
you wanna atract the lucky number 777 I see what u did there
Posted using Partiko Android
Dear @fulltimegeek, if you will got the limit thanks to Bernie, you will anyway delete your account?
In Steemit without using bitbot is very hard to get such level of payout.
Anyway i would invite you to @steem-bounty, it will be very nice from a whale like you make some charity for who need help and give your support to grown Steemit too...:)))
Congratulations @fulltimegeek!
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
I don't have to flag you @fulltimegeek 😂😂😂 it is already under 7.77.. but I'll check back within few days 😂😂😂
If this post hits £300 I'll be debt free. 😅

We need Tweeting steem because this platform needs exposure. @fulltimegeek so no upvotes nor downvotes from me LOL.
Not a robot, alive human, clash and dash.... Have a great day 777
Stand by your word.
Once this pays out. I will.
