On Leaving Twitter

I mocked these posts. Made fun of people. Told them at Christmas that no one cares if you leave Twitter¹.

Now I’m writing the post. Banning 3rd party apps, and turning on the “Home” feed (with stuff you didn’t opt-in to seeing) was a bridge too far. It took my carefully curated experience and turned it into a mess of aggravation.

It was everything I hated about Twitter, that 3rd party apps fixed. Jason Snell put very well my feelings on the matter.

So I made the tweet. The one you make to pin to your profile, letting people know where they can find you:

My plan from here it to work on a “micro blog” type of post for this site, and be active on other social platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram.

I’m not fully on-board with Mastodon yet because it feels like a disjointed mess, but if Ivory by Tapbots² can fix it, I will consider it.

The best way to get in touch with me is via email: joe@casabona.org or via ZipMessage.

1. For the record, I still think that’s true. ?
2. Who made the incomparable Tweetbot Twitter client ?
