It's hard to overstate how much abuse I've been bombarded with on the bird app since Musk took it over with plenty of his MAGA acolytes engaging in ugly attacks and calling it "free speech." Meanwhile, Apple threatens to drop Musk's platform of abuse and he complains that they don't believe in "free speech." Sound familiar?
@StevenBeschloss It's hard to overstate how significant it would be for famous people (like you) to drop Twitter and delete your account(s). Quitting the addictive Twitter habit is unsettling for sure, but I promise you'll get used to it. Encourage your associates to drop the bird too. If it improves in the future, you can always make a new account.
@batyalee @StevenBeschloss The more I experience Mastodon, the more I think it best to host an instance individually.
@batyalee @StevenBeschloss I’ve successfully replaced my Twitter addiction with a Mastodon one! Never looked back. It takes a little while to rebuild your feed, and to get used to the lesser intensity, but I love it here.
