@BeardedRogue I am right there with you. I hate everything about Twitter now. I'm blocking every promoted tweet and advertiser. There are some folks I am connected to who are using it for #mutualaid and I want to ensure I am still connected to them until they migrate. I don't want to lose them. But there's no other good reason to be there.
