Twitter among other things
2 years ago
So I haven't been using twitter lately, and I'm unsure if I should be using it.
I originally stopped using it like a month or two ago when the owner's anti-trans rhetoric was causing potential harm to the people that I knew, so I just forbade myself from using it anymore if it was going to continue going that way. But then they introduce that "inactivity" timer thing and I'm afraid of my stuff getting deleted because some dumbass said "this is a good idea". Not that I have a big following on twitter anyways, and only ever get a smidge of traction (like any views at all) if I'm retweeted by my friends. I'm just wondering what I should do, and how you all feel about what's going on. Like, I'm not sure if still using twitter is poor form to show support to my friends, and what I should do about the account deletion thing.
I'm doing okay otherwise, school semester is up and I posted the game I worked on, on my artstation.
On a side note, read previous journal regarding requests. I'm also open to some wg rps, info on my profile.

I did keep my account. Since they added the inactivity rule, I have popped back in once to keep my account active. I plan to do that again every three weeks or so.
Personally I have had plenty of issues with him; the anti-trans stuff took it to a whole new level though. I definitely think it would be better to avoid Twitter (which is why I have done so), but I also understand that it is hard for some people if most of their friends are on there. We do not talk much and I do not know you well, but my opinion of you does not plummet because you have been still using twitter. Everything that I can determine about you suggests that you have a good heart and are trying to do the right thing.
I would say that if you can start using Twitter less and transition to some other platform that your friends are on then that would be best.
One thing I would suggest doing right now is to request a download of all your old tweets. This will help you keep things even if your account does get deactivated. I would do it now because (1) it will be too late if your account is deactivated and (2) I wouldn't be surprised if they started charging for downloading it in the future.
I am glad to hear that you are doing well otherwise. Take care of yourself. *hugs*
