I Hadn't Logged Into Twitter For Over Two Years
Today, after following a link I ended up hopping between random Twitter threads. I was able to draw some conclusions. First, the level of discourse has not improved. Second, that is an hour and a half of my life that I cannot regain. Third, differentiating between stupidity, simple ignorance, provincialism, malice, and the Dunning Krugger Effect is nigh impossible, but there's a lot of it, generally in combination with a lack of self awareness...
Then suddenly and quite unexpectedly, Chibi Thomas Jefferson showed up, and dispensed justice with three keystrokes and a mouseclick before vanishing to fight evil elsewhere.
I laughed...hard. Sadly, I closed the tab without screencapping it and I'll never find it again, but know this Chibi Thomas Jefferson...you made my day.

I closed my Twitter account a while back, but Pixy's ongoing fight for truth, justice, and the American Chibi-Founder Way always amuses me.

I quit Twitter too. But instead, I have at least 3 other accounts now: 1 aninouto@ Smug Loli, 2 Sea Lion, 3 GAB. I used to have backups at Quitter.se and the like, but fortunately I was able to shed those.

BTW, Pixy promised some kind of ActivityPub compatibility at the "new" Minx. Can't wait to see it.

Yeah, I was hoping to launch the beta in May, but my day job has been insane the last couple of months. Still working on it.

I quit Facebook, but I stay on Twitter. I've got several accounts, but maily one for baseball news and chat and one for politics, rants, anime, and connections with friends.
Facebook is where my family is. I'm not going back on there after the last election.

It's all on who you hang with. I quit tweeting at 4000 tweets (at least four times, filling the numbers back in as tweets vanished). But I got active again following stuff I think is funny, and artists posting stuff. Mostly I avoid the politics these days.
FB I mostly follow closed groups of friends, so that's a lot better.
Everywhere else I shout into holes and bury my words, it seems.
