Dan GoodinMy experience as a journalist is that Twitter doesn't boost my traffic by any noticeable measure. Story tweets that get 10s of 1,000s of views simply don't translate to increased traffic to those stories. What's more, a fair number of journalists' followers these days are no longer active because they have left or greatly scaled back their use.
Leaving Twitter behind is the right thing to do. And if that's not feasible, scaling back use is crucial. Staying there means you think the value of your tweets outweighs the harm Twitter is inflicting on a free press and democracy itself. And that's simply not the case.

– on Mastodon as @snurb (https://aoir.social/@snurb)

Goodbye, Twitter – it's been real, until it wasn't. Very sorry it's come to this, and very angry it's come to this.
As a final post, I shared one of the best antifascist anthems ever written. Enjoy, and see you anywhere but there. ✊
