Randi Mayem SingerTwitter is now like vegetables in my fridge. I open and look, but they don't appeal to me and eventually rot.
Alyssa MacKenzie 💜@rmayemsinger wow, if THIS doesn’t hit just perfectly.
David Fox 🌻🥸@AlyAlyOutnFree @rmayemsinger Our solution for old vegetables in the fridge... toss them into a pot and make soup. No idea how that fits with your metaphor since the idea of Twitter stew is really unappetizing.

I just don't want to lose my handle on the slim chance it's resurrected

@Serion @rmayemsinger Exactly. And I wouldn't want someone else to take my handle if I closed my account completely. But spending less and less time there.

Perhaps it’s time to clean out your fridge…just saying

Bernard Beckett@rmayemsinger tw----r was removed from my life when it was taken over. The staff reductions and changes to working conditions were anticipated.
I did not expect the reinstatement of ex potus but am pleased to no longer be a follower.

Secretoriginz@rmayemsinger But what if Musk suddenly sold it and someone new & sane came in to run things?
AuthorTOBurnett@rmayemsinger great analogy.
Christina7531@rmayemsinger for me, it’s not quite as bad as the quick peeks at FB that quickly become doomscrolls of misery, but it’s getting close
Tony thefathippy@christina7531 @rmayemsinger I found myself at Tw to avoid the FB nutjobs (yes,some family...) Now, I find myself here and in some specialised FB groups, which largely avoid the racist boomerism* so common on FB and now Tw.
* Not used in an ageist fashion. I'm technically a boomer, but to me boomerism is sign of a racist, anti-future, anti-green, staunchly religious (approved gods only), ultra-conservative mindset. I've known 20yos with a boomer mindset.
WayofCats@rmayemsinger @TinaThePerson 🤣Finally stopped doing that!
Tim Lane@rmayemsinger this is the perfect way to describe.
Onceoday 🩺🕊🏕@rmayemsinger I got sucked back in briefly today, to speak up for Alexander Vindman who is being targeted by Musky.
Alexander Vindman is a man of integrity who gave up his career to speak the truth to the world.
Anyway, hopefully I can stay away again now.

Melanie@Onceoday @rmayemsinger I just had to go cold turkey, deactivate my account and delete the app. I loved Twitter and I miss it. I loathe Musk for ruining it. But deactivating and deleting was my statement (not that anyone cares!). Couldn’t do one foot in, one foot out.
@Mellie @rmayemsinger I have deleted the app, so it's not so accessible. But sometimes links lead back to Twitter.
I've kept my account so my username isn't available for anyone to take over and masquerade as me with my old tweets, but locked it down. It's at least not a daily habit anymore.

@rmayemsinger this is exactly how I feel right now
Dennis Jernberg@rmayemsinger Twitter is the mutated horror I wrestled out of my fridge and threw in the dumpster. It's gone far beyond mere rotten whatever-I-threw-in-there-last-month to something downright Lovecraftian.
Tofu Golem@rmayemsinger
I now buy produce like a Japanese housewife: I only buy what I need to make the next meal, and only on the same day.
If I do it any other way, stuff ends up going to rot in my 'fridge.
a bad daditude ☠️@rmayemsinger you've described it perfectly
josh dobbin@rmayemsinger @OhNoSheTwitnt so very much the same.
Bellison22@rmayemsinger I feel like that about influencers randomly posting.
Ivy is Skeptical@rmayemsinger Knowing that there is nothing but rotting, stinking vegetables in that fridge, will eventually cause you to permanently lock that door and only open up the nearby cupboard.
Humble Fan of Atty. Woo@rmayemsinger thought it was only me.
Jeffrey Chesner@rmayemsinger you can throw it in the garbage.
