I gave up 15 years on Twitter and 22,000 followers. I used my anniversary to invite others to follow me to Mastodon, and I pointed out that every tweet is a donation to Musk. We know what he is and what he's doing. He gave Michael Flynn his account back on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

I started my #Twitter exodus as a boycott against Musk. Now, I'm thrilled to be here. I miss a few things, but Mastodon is just built better. I feel like it makes me (and you) better, too.

I am up to more than 1,300 followers on Mastodon,, but sticking with Twitter also. We will see what happens.

@kennethb I started that way, cross-posting between the two. i decided all that did was continue to provide free content and engagement for Musk to monetize, so I locked my Twitter account. I still miss some things and visit Twitter occasionally, but over time, the painfully obvious algorithm that optimizes for outrage, disagreement, and division becomes painfully obvious, I find.
