Today I set my Twitter account to inactive. This feels like a big step for me considering how important the platform was for me for a long time.
Much of the start of my tech career I got on Twitter.
I also deactivated all the x-posting I had. I can't even say how much I appreciate Mastodon atm. Let's see where this all takes us. I thank yall for this community. 🙇
From my Twitter: "I am done with this platform for the time being. I'll keep my account to avoid abuse but what happened in the last weeks and recent actions showed that Twtr has turned into a platform I do not want to participate in actively any longer.
So long and thanks for all the fish!"
Edited as it got x-posted which is not disabled.
Oh my.
@Mediaite conservative writer Isaac Schorr misread the Twitter account @joinmastodon as "John Mastodon," and said that the open source social media software was named after this imaginary person. https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy-and-fear-all-the-way-down-at-twitter/
I am no Reddit user at all, so I just did a Usability test -- and I can confidently say that the Desktop web version is a steam pile of 💩
Things are nested in unnecessary menus, the UI is cluttered with noise ... wow... that was very demotivating to use it more.
