Twitter was special. But it's time to leave

Also a reminder that crossposting back to bird site makes it easier for people to stay there and hides how folks are leaving.
Whether you continue to do that is up to you, of course, and will be dependent on how much your circles of friends have already jumped ship.
But if lots already have, consider not doing that to encourage friends to leave the main character battle arena site and join better alternatives.
Social networks need critical mass to sustain themselves.
Part of that is making sure this site has that critical mass by encouraging folks to come here.
Part of that is making sure bird site isn't a place where you provide free content anymore.
There's a good chance when you joined here, you cared more about the first of those as a hedge against bird site dying.
But if recent changes mean you want birdsite to affirmatively die, you'll need to do both.
@LaF0rge nice!
wish I could get a POTS line installed at my house 😠
Anyone had any luck with doing dialup over VOIP?
@xabean "be a good chap, if you could be so kind as to find a way to stumble into the nearest sun, that would be simply grand."
Or something to that effect. It's been a while :P
@xabean I had a chuckle at your bio ":icon_exclaim: If you have cryptocurrency/blockchain tendencies, I do not want to be part of your timeline, nor do I want you in mine. ✌️"
right there with ya mate
@sophiewarnes @locksmithprime If you do not have an immigration lawyer engaged, I recommend you get one. My company provided one as getting me a green card was cheaper than renewing my E3 every 2 years.
When you apply for a green card, you can also apply for "Advance Parole" which allows you to leave for a period of time without discontinuing your application or putting you at a disadvantage.
The soonest you can apply, the better. It could take *years*.
Lawyer will help make all this easy 🙂
