Technology ConnectionsMy Twitter account had been locked for something like 2 years.
It is now gone.
And aside from the occasional in-video references to it, the links have been removed from my YouTube channel.
zhe mosslet [Viridi Vix]@TechConnectify Outstanding Move
Andy Piper@TechConnectify difficult, but a good move (IMHO).
Claude Gohier@TechConnectify
This is the way.
This is the way.
Jan Beta@TechConnectify This is the way. โ
jz.tuskCongrats/commiseration.
Hope you find a good alternative.
(I'm aware of your Mastodon experience ๐ฌ)
Ollie@jztusk @TechConnectify wait, what's the Mastodon experience been like so far? Not good?

Chris Hopkins@ollie @jztusk @TechConnectify he's done many posts on this. Very roughly: mastodon does not have the tools twitter providers invisibly that help people with large follower counts deal with the firehose that is online behaviour.
What makes it especially worse is the number of people who go "but it's not a problem for me" or "just ignore the trolls" or some other thing that demonstrates a lack of both empathy and reading comprehension.
Silvenga@TechConnectify thanks for the reminder, needed to delete that account too.

@TechConnectify Congratulations and commiserations.
I suppose I need to get around to doing that myself. Alas.
monorail times@TechConnectify That's great! Onward and upward!
Chris FergusonI understand both the loss of potential audience and communication through that platform, and the integrity/morals you show through that action.
Takes guts. You got 'em.
Miia Mustang@TechConnectify Cool! :3
Unlike those toy fridges.

.:\dGh/:.@TechConnectify and nothing of value was lost?
Cybarbie@TechConnectify I wonder are they cleaning house for their big AI push. They are going to try train on it. I never got a chance to shut my twitter down properly. I had sort of stopped using it but it was active - then Musk took over and they suspended it without reason/locked me out. Kinda sad now because it would be fun poisoning the training.
Vervain@TechConnectify Congratulations on your escape! You're a tiny bit closer to a better future for us all.
Kramer Campbell@TechConnectify Onward to greener pastures
Geoff ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ@TechConnectify Sucks that we need to, but yeah.
Khosumi@TechConnectify deleting twitter is the most sane thing anyone can do. The whole thing is just people screaming at eachother and algorithms manipulating the users.

Pootle ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐๐ฆโพ๏ธ๐งฉ@TechConnectify I deleted my Facebook account last year. I think the cost of surveillance capitalism outweighs its utility. Goodbye old school friends and extended family.
I hope youโre treating yourself to your favourite beverage. And well done, it is tough.
cslinuxboy@TechConnectify Tell Musk, "Thank you", and welcome to Mastodon.

int*domi;*domi=0@TechConnectify i hope that despite all the hardships, fedi isnโt all a net-negative for you
๐@TechConnectify why was it locked?
@antdude @TechConnectify Due to PREVIOUS issues from the platform.
Twitter slowly became not-good, and then Elmo came along and turned it up to 11 in hyperdrive.

Xeno Danger Evil@TechConnectify I'm stoked everything i see your posts on here!
Overclocked Andy@TechConnectify I know you catch a lot of crap over here, but Iโm glad you left the other place. So few have and that saddens me.
Why good folk finance fascism is beyond me.
Thanks for being a good egg.

Congrats on moving away from Twitter! Mastodon seems like a much healthier space.

Elvis Van@danielle @TechConnectify until you realized it's possible for a lot more of what twitter is, both good and bad
EricI'm working weaning off of Twitter. I don't post much, but I like keeping up with others. I plan to see how many contacts have also got on Mastadon or Blusky, and then I think I willl remove them from contact on twitter. That will reduce my engagement with that site.
Heath Borders@TechConnectify congrats! I'm glad to see more good folks abandon Twitter.
@TechConnectify Welcome to the better platform anyhow!
