Fascinating analysis from the Economist: “In the four days after Elon Musk took the keys to Twitter, Republican members of Congress collectively gained around 470,000 followers. The opposite was true for Democrats in both chambers. Their House and Senate representatives lost 420,000 followers.”

If you're part of the #twittermigration, it may seem strange the people use CWs so much here.

But, CWs are really helpful. So much of our world is overwhelming, and feed presentation can bombard our nervous systems with triggers.

CWs give people time and space to engage with that they have the resources to engage with. It gives them agency.

I follow news and politics AND it's helpful for my PTSD to have the chance to take a deep breath *before* I see a post.

Hello #TwitterMigration friends, ideas for curating your timeline, which is quite like #gardening: what you plant will be what grows here for you.

1. If you mainly follow others who arrived with you, you depend on them staying. Balance with people who post regularly and there will be new growth here when you check.

2. Follow people who boost others. The serendipity of their associations will seed new ideas for you.

3. It’s a new home: you don’t need the same garden you had in your old home.
