Considering quitting Twitter/X
4 days ago
General
I've talked about this a few times during art streams, and my patrons are aware of this already...
But I'm planning to abandon X. I was already planning that once I saw that much bigger artists were talking about gradually phasing out of the platform since the Grok nonsense started.
I don't know for sure when I'll officially quit it for good, but, I'm gonna be blunt, the place is a freaking, disgusting bot ghost town from my PoV right now.
My last few posts there had very little engagement compared to FA and bluesky, and when I get any kind of reaction it's usually a lot of weird, suspicious profiles and obvious bots spamming message requests and such.
For now I'm just going to tell anyone who wants to message me there to instead message me here or on bluesky. I guess if you're in a discord server I'm in, you can message me through discord as well... but twitter is just... a thing, that I'll get rid of sometime this year.
If you have any protest about it, and I'm not sure why the hell anyone would, feel free to comment.

Come to Bsky! It's a hundred times better!
1- I don't remember my info
2- if I attempt to brute force me way back I can get locked out of my account for guessing my password and shit
all In all, a win-win and my incentive to just dump the place like the steaming pile of dump it is now.
Twitter sucked, and sucked bad, long before Elon bought it. He just enshitified it worse.
I miss that time. Sigh.
