I gotta be honest…

I was willing to stick it out on #Twitter for all the reasons I’ve been talking about, but mainly not abandoning another online space to the Shrieking Eels…

But killing the API & all 3rd party apps may kill Twitter for me. The native app is fucking terrible, I’m not getting all kinds of notifications, the algorithm has barfed up my feed something fierce.

And I can’t stop thinking about all those apps & the people they employ/support who just lost everything for no reason.

welp, the one shrieking eel gave away the ballgame when he slithered in with a sink.

talk about telegraphing his intentions. he was saying he’d rip out the sinks and sell them for a buck and he’s all but literally done that.

only thing my account is doing there is acting as a vatican mailbox in north korea but soon that too will be closed.

i hate that the town square is covered in bovine excrement, i’m happy this set of outsideish places is freer from that.
