I’ve changed how I use Twitter. It’s now in readonly or reactive mode for me. I may comment and retweet but all new content is now being posted to mastodon. While this seemed hard to want to do at first, mastodon actually has a ton of quality of life improvements like edit your post to fix your typos. I swear I feel like I was in a Stockholm Syndrome with Twitter just accepting that you can’t edit your tweets. Why was that ever acceptable? You can’t add alt text to an image you already uploaded. You must choose to delete a tweet that is maybe gaining traction or live with your typing mistakes. Ugh. Honestly it feels like getting out of a bad relationship. Happy to invest in communities that are outside of Elon’s control.
