Scott ShapiroMy Twitter TL has thinned out considerable. Infosec accounts I follow don't seem to posting; Law people have migrated here; big blue check accounts are stuck, watching their numbers dwindle; my Twitter friends are over here; Lastly, I don't feel much like participating in Elon's circus. Not throwing in the towel yet, but the writing may be on the wall.
Elizabeth Loves DEI@scottjshapiro , I just deactivated my account. I don't have a big account so it was easy. I joined Twitter to get information about the state-of-the-union as well as pandemic guidance. It came to be more but there is also the more that is toxic and the toxicity now seems to be the point.
mellow kismet@Dr_Elizabeth97 @scottjshapiro I'm prob right behind you, Elizabeth. I was just thinking how much I've been enjoying my Mastodon timeline this a.m. Maybe I'm following a more interesting, diverse group of people here.
@Dr_Elizabeth97 @scottjshapiro It just dawned on me... the algorithm. Here, the only algorithm is me, my selections. So I see more things that interest me, from a broader range of people, than I do over there, where factors that influence my timeline may be weighted differently per the algorithm.
