I have heard all of the arguments but if you're still active on twitter without a active presence on any other backup social networks, after the events of the last week, I mean, come on.
@hacks4pancakes yeah I've been trying to gently coax people to see the light but many still don't. Unfortunately, some are folks I mentor so I feel shitty about just abandoning them on that hellsite even if they're kinda doing it to themselves.
@alyssam_infosec I mean, I know I was touchy at first, overcautious, but now there's like extortion, journalist bans, arbitrary banning of free speech. Come on.

@hacks4pancakes @alyssam_infosec you can just say that you don't want to be on that site anymore and that if they want to continue interacting with you that they need to do so in an environment that is safer for you.

Give them the choice to do the right thing or lose access, and couch it as being a safety issue, and I think most folks will react well to that.

[I've lost a lot of contacts over the past few years who didn't feel like respecting my boundaries. It hurts, but I'm much better off having those boundaries respected...]

@munin @alyssam_infosec I have, thought my account will likely be shut off soon as linking to other social networks is now prohibited.
@hacks4pancakes @munin @alyssam_infosec Taking the social out of social networks. Most people don’t change without a compelling event that affects them personally unfortunately. Probably a large number of people staying because they enjoy the drama as well.

I actually enjoyed the bird site.
It works, has a mobile app.
I'm grieving about what new ownership has done to the site that I knew for over a decade. The bird's still there, but rules are changing on a whim.
But, here I am, on this new elephant.
@DaLanShark @hacks4pancakes @munin @alyssam_infosec Well, welcome here! Might want to change your profile from tweet to toot or post.
