On Sunday evening, he wrote his last post, where he posted links to his other social media, such as Bluesky, Instagram, and Mastodon.

"Time to leave. Other accounts on Twitter (which was previously called X, ed. note) that pretend to be me are fake".

Since Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, many well-known profiles have left the platform. It is not known whether The Cure's official account will also leave.

Over the weekend, REM's front figure Michael Stipe also urged his followers to completely boycott the tech company Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, for a week. This is due to reports that Meta and Amazon are planning to scrap special plans for diversity, justice, and inclusion, which coincides with Donald Trump and the Republicans, who have long attacked such efforts, taking power in the USA.
