Mastodawn

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.

@catvalente I used only the twitter web and app for years. But the recent twitter web is terrible just compared to Oct 2022. And I won't reinstall the app on my phone for any reason.

There is a lot missing from my mastodon experience. I do not get the same news familiarity, I have cut down on usage of social.

@catvalente Also I find what was done with the API, and how it was done, reprehensible. But that word loses its impact when applied to Elon since it could apply to basically his whole existence and nearly every action he takes or has taken.
