Just posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.

For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.

I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to #DeleteTwitter.

I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt

@thesiswhisperer I moved to Mastodon im November and deleted my account on Twitter a few months later. Once you started following a decent number of interesting people here, it becomes so much better than Twitter (I used it for 13 years).

Regarding the audience, which is relevant for many people in science, when #Threads become part of the #fediverse this problem will be solved.

@serklarvel @thesiswhisperer Agreed. I never liked Twitter much; now, I use mastodon daily.
