Incoming transmission...
I decided to finally deactivate my accounts on Twitter. Well, two of them. I don't remember the name or password for the third one, but they're the two I used the most. Third one was just my AD which I hardly used anyway.
I actually ditched Twitter like a year ago, but I held onto the accounts on the slim off-chance that Twitter would somehow get bought out from under the Musky Phlegm, but that's increasingly unlikely at this point. I could say it's because of the machine learning shit in their TOS, but I doubt deactivating my account would stop them from just retaining my data and feeding it into the machine anyway. Musk could tell me the sun is hot and I'd assume he was bullshitting.
Instead, I'm active over on BlueSky and Meow.Social. There isn't one that's better to follow than the other, as I tend to divide my attention quite equally between them.

OP
Not gonna lie, ditching Twitter a year ago did wonders for my mental health, so I'm not fussed about deactivating those accounts anyway! x3

I stopped actively posting on Twitter a little over a year ago. That site just torques people and brings the worst out of them. Saying that I somehow curated my timeline so it is hot animal people all the time so I don't see much nastiness.

I was mostly able to do that as well, but once in a while something still got through. And even when it didn't, it was still a bit like living in a building with nasty neighbours you never see, y'know?
