Staying on Twitter is like this season of the Crown. I know Diana's gonna die in that crash, but I can't stop watching.
@rmayemsinger perfect analogy.
@andricheli @rmayemsinger I legit wish my archive would be ready so I could download it and delete my account. It makes me sad visiting that site now.
@XyzzyNthngHppns @andricheli I downloaded mine but when I click the (probably ) giant file, nothing happens.
@rmayemsinger @XyzzyNthngHppns I downloaded my archive about a week ago but am keeping the account active because I still use it for local news stuff. Also to recruit other people to Mastodon.
@andricheli @XyzzyNthngHppns I'm not leaving Twitter!
@rmayemsinger @andricheli I totally get that! It's just a cost-benefit for me. I'm an old man taking grad school classes & twitter + here is too much of a time sink.
@rmayemsinger @andricheli It's probably an archival file format. When I get mine, I'll post what I did to explore it. It's the sort of thing I do professionally.
@rmayemsinger and yet you can‘t shake this profound feeling of disappointment.
@rmayemsinger This app is just a small click tail party

@rmayemsinger ummm spoiler alert please!

🤣

@rmayemsinger yep, right there with you until he let the orange idiot back on.

@rmayemsinger

I’m weaning myself off it.

@rmayemsinger stay off! Otherwise you just help Elon become successful, lol. I deleted the app off my phone
@rmayemsinger it’s true, though. Now that the walking dumpster fire has been released from perma-ban, I’m keeping my account just to know what the violently crazy are plotting next, since they seem to love telling everyone their plans.
@rmayemsinger I'm fighting for community but I'm going to do it another way. Facts, facts in images with links. Trying not to sling mud because they want it to be truth social and claim victory for digital gentrification win by making ppl leave, and get me banned. Marginalized communities cannot afford to lose Twitter, or Facebook or any social media platform. We'll always fight for our voices to be heard.
