I keep notifications on so I know that people who cross post have posted something here. When we get notifications here of posts (not just replies, likes) I can turn that off. But I removed it from my home screen on my phone.
I only ever used Twitter's chronological feed, but even then I wasn't entirely convinced it was playing fair. Only interacting with good stuff will mostly encourage it to keep giving you that though.
A generous and freehanded blocking policy saved this account from too much of it going on in the replies over there, but it's definitely still more chill here.
Mostly locked up over there, just the occasional reminder I’m here instead.

I turned off Twitter notifications and removed it from my Home Screen, and put Bluesky there instead. In the same place. Muscle memory is for sure a factor!
A q for you: I was pondering recently what the living conditions would be like on the Canopus class pre dreadnoughts in WW1, the class inc Glory & Albion that was sent to Gallipoli despite being really old. Were they quite grim compared to post 1906 ships? Were they less prestigious to serve on?

I do miss the football on it but that is about it
All ruined because of one rich spoiled massive bellend and his need to be liked.

The key is never to read the replies, but if you don't read the replies, then you can miss out of loads of fun stuff
It just got to the stage where the fun stuff was overwhelmed by the hateful rubbish

Here's an 18th-century gun used as a bollard in Den Helder 🇳🇱 to keep you here 😎
