Hey, you, who's reading this in the future: you can find out who I am today at https://rarf.zone/about/. 💙
I really need to get more aggressive about curating my TL on Twitter, because it's just… …not healthy for me?
I can find better ways of Staying Informed™! I can figure out how to just keep track of my friends! I really don't need to be getting the ✨full✨ "being poisoned by Twitter" experience!
I honestly worry about people only getting news from Twitter, between the misinformation and the mistakes in reporting live events can be.
Oh, yeah, it's bad. It's useful for getting updates from known reputable sources all in one place, and it's marginally useful for getting information of such a local nature that it isn't being reported on if you're actually from that place or otherwise know enough about it to sniff out BS, but there's so, so much absolutely dubious (or worse) "news" on there. :x
I was scared of succumbing to the Twitter poison when I first joined, so I adopted the full-on "If it gives me bad vibes it's gone." approach the moment I made my account.
