@caseynewton This is spot on. I’ve been arguing that depriving Twitter of engagement needs to be the objective.
The ‘stay [on Twitter] and fight’ crowd misses the point that their engagement is Twitter’s lifeblood. Deprive Twitter of your engagement and see Twitter wither.
This can be achieved many ways; we may have different plans that work for each of us, as Casey does here. Hopefully an alternative platform e.g. Mastodon can gain critical mass and take Twitter’s place.
