Well, Twitter is such a sewer just now.

Not just paying fascists and Nazis, backing Trump and every other bigotry but ads everywhere.

2 thirds of my feed is ads and fascists.

But it's also started crashing several times an hour, overheating my phone corrupting files.

3 resets later..... "what's my old Mastodon address and password again?!"

So I'm back.
