Just deleted my Twitter account. Gutted. I’d made so many friends there, and it was vital to my career, but Elon Musk destroyed it both morally and practically. For several months I’d kept the account to lure people here, and now I’m done. I’m so glad Bluesky is thriving - thanks to you all 🙏

by the way
"YOU'RE DEAD TO ME".... is still great!
There's nothing of interest there for most of us who are here for chat
Ian wondering what is best to do x
Harder than I thought it would be
Made much better when I found so many had also arrived from Twitter
Did take a while to find them
Welcome to the future of social meedja.
(Also love the podcasts)
Because I have masochistic tendencies!! 😅
Feel physically sick.
Final straw for me.
Not sure now why I waited.
It might still be helpful.
Mostly because they are not blighted by an algorithm of Fascist posts, which means more people can see you.
I hope you all get to regroup ❤️
Easy now to remember it's 37 plays total for the pub quiz!
I'm surprised you only got 10% with the SFBridge search - I got about 30% or more, I think - and will surely pick up more if I run it again in a few weeks.
But yes, the reason I delayed coming here was not wanting to rebuild.
But it has no power if all the people leave. The water is cleaner here; warmer too.
Big accounts soar high in the sky.
But lend us a glance,
Give small fries a chance.
Even add us to packs,
For the boost others lack.
Follow us back, don’t be shy! 💙🦋
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you
Come on now"

Erm I'm still on X and Mastodon
So appreciate the sacrifice made.
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure.
Lock it, then tweet a punctuation mark every couple of weeks and immediately delete the tweet, this prevents Twitter deleting for inactivity.
As I have many a time.
Though this was definitely the last time.
I just log in every couple of weeks on the web.
In the beginning I was constantly looking at Twitter but now it holds no attraction.
Leon Smuk has destroyed it beyond any possible chance of rehabilitation.
For me, I leave mine there and keep it alive by tweet/delete because I had a stalker there a few years ago, the police got involved…
So I’m definitely not giving him chance to impersonate me.
