@darius not disagreeing, but: in what ways do you define "getting really bad over there"?

@darius I was just thinking about how you had the right idea with friend camp years ago. I've been off twitter for a month now and it feels great.

@darius Just leave. Don't let the asshole brag about how he's kept you as a user.

@darius

At this point the only appeal of Twitter is the trainwreck itself. It's hard to look away.

@darius i moved all my follows who have masto accounts over today using fedifinder, and deleted the app. I’m trying to leave it but leave my account there as an empty husk. It’s hard to break the habit, may take several tries

@darius it feels like a bad horror movie with an ending going on way waaay too long when I just want to get dinner and go home

@darius
I finally deactivated my account, and don't miss it much. But sometimes I jump on a link to a tweet, and scroll a bit. There are journalists, lawyers and historians with accounts there but not here, or don't post much here (yet?). Maybe soon?.

Once I didn't have a twatter account, and took the app off my phone, I stopped getting the pushes to (re)sign up, too. So, still available for perusing, but I can't upvote or reply, which isn't much of a burden.

@darius I deleted yesterday because I felt like (correctly or incorrectly, idk) the mastodon wave had ended, and folks who hadn't made the move yet weren't likely to. so why bother? but you're in a different position with a different network, so there may still be some utility?

@darius the problem I have with quitting entirely (as in, deleting my account), means that someone else can then grab my handle. I don’t want some memelord running around calling themselves numberless.

@darius I dislike the experience every time I go, I don't know why I keep visiting. FOMO I guess. Considering blocking at the router to break the addiction.
