I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

      I set up a Twitter account during the Wagner mutiny to be able to follow a few people I know through podcasts. Journalists and public figures and whatnot.

      Although I’ve used Twitter in the (distant) path I just don’t know how these people keep going. About 75% percent of the comments under their Tweets are from completely obsessed and insane people.

      Twitter makes /r/politics and /r/worldnews seem a calm and collected bunch.

      Twitter is one of the things that shows me how much we all live in bubbles. I have a twitter account and know a few people who have one too but it’s not really a huge thing among people I know. But sometimes I stumble upon huge communities that heavily use twitter and absolutely rely upon it.
