    I have never used Twitter or X even once in my life. It’s definitely not essential. I really don’t understand how people have convinced themselves that short format screamposting into the void is somehow the peak of communication. Just quit and let your followers know why.

    If people actually cared about what you had to say, they’d go wherever you go to hear you say it. If not, were they really all that interested in the first place? or was it just convenient because they were already on Twitter and so were you?

      Oh, me neither. I hate the format, I used it long enough to reserve my name, then never logged in again

      But it’s a centralized town square. How much news came out of there? And I mean actual news, not tabloid crap. It’s where science discoveries came out first, where earthquake responses organized, where Arab spring came together
