at this point twitter exists to me as only two things:
- an archive of the time I'd spent over there making posts (or, a tombstone against others claiming my name and content)
- a last-ditch point of contact, and a point to contact others
literally everything else I could've done on that website I now either do on cohost (being in touch with cool peeps and posting, both funny and serious), on mastodon (reading updates and news), or I simply don't anymore (doomscrolling, constantly swatting down spambots like flies, blocking chuds, doing network analysis and deep social intelligence-gathering)
all the time I've saved by not doing the latter, I now spend enjoying the world a little more, and putting myself in position to get myself away from the people and places that hate me.
