Far-left <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/msnbc">MSNBC</a> host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-reid">Joy Reid</a> joined the leftist exodus from the social media platform <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter">X</a> following Trump’s victory last week.
The X profile for her MSNBC show “The ReidOut” still appears active, but the host’s personal account has been deactivated. Reid explained her reasons for leaving the platform in a video.
“Today I finally did something I’ve been meaning to do for a while,” she said in the clip posted to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@joyreidofficial/video/7436979734317108510?lang=en">TikTok</a>. “The reason for doing it, and kissing goodbye [to] my 1.9 million followers, is because I haven’t been posting for a long time. I just didn’t want to be contributing content once it was purchased by its present owner.”
The host said she was fed up with “negativity” on X.
“Every so often, I would use it to just look at news that was trending and what’s happening and I would just use it as an aggregator, but I just realized that’s not really worth it,” she added. “Because in order to do the news aggregation and just look at all, you have to wade through a lot of dreck and just abuse and a lot of negativity, and it’s just not worth it.”
Many other leftists have also left X in recent days. The U.K.-based news outlet The Guardian announced this week it will no longer post on X from its official accounts, citing “disturbing content.” NPR also stopped using X after the platform added a “state-affiliated media” tag to NPR’s profile.

Former CNN host Don Lemon said he was leaving the social media platform, claiming it’s no longer a place for “honest” debate following Trump’s big win.
“I once believed that it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose,” Lemon said on Wednesday.
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis also left X this week, but didn’t state a specific reason. “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,” Curtis wrote on Instagram. “Courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference.”
Meanwhile, British actor Ricky Gervais <a href="https://x.com/rickygervais/status/1857116329125294490">posted</a> an announcement of his own, stating, “I’m not leaving here by the way. I’m on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky &amp; Threads now, but I’ll always be a Twitter guy. (Never calling it X) Cheers!”
