Weaning myself off Twitter. Comments and cracks from the sidelines. I'm a left of centre expat (ex-AU/NZ) based in SEA. He/him.
Hi all. If I unfollowed you today, it's because I'm probably following you on Bluesky or Twitter. Hope to see you all on Bsky sometime soon, and I/we can abandon the bad place completely. Cheers.
Meta may launch a Threads web version early this week

Meta may launch the web version of Threads, its competitor to X (formerly known as Twitter) early this week, says a report. A web version has been frustratingly missing since the short-form posting service began.

The Verge
At a bit of a crossroads as Twitter turns into X. Do I abandon it for Mastodon, or try Threads once it has a web version and the other annoyances get ironed out? I refuse to do Bluesky because Jack may as well be Eloon. What to do?

@emilygorcenski Interestingly, Dorsey at Bluesky endorsed RFKJr which, for me, is a good reason not to be on his new platform. Having been Jacked once I have no desire to repeat the experience

@StuRap Does no-one get a back yard any more? No room for any trees? Look at all those dark roofs. Ugh, this is wrong in so many ways. All that green space turned into a heat island.
@meganchapman I've only ever tried pottery at a night class in Bondi years ago for a couple of nights. Best of my three items was this coil pot. The fact that I still have it after moving to Cambodia says a lot about how happy I was with it.
