Accidentally opened twitter. Ugh. I want to be enlightened and able to say: You can have or be part of a „positive“ social graph over there, but I’m not so sure.

@tkoola Yeah. Probably should just delete those profiles on the social networks that are nothing more than toxicity transporters.

@matti @tkoola honestly I was waiting for myself to miss Twitter — even in the slightest — but I don’t.

@jlrevilla @matti @tkoola You could check Mastodon, but something tells me those accounts won’t be on there. Do these sites and services have an RSS feed that you could follow instead? That would allow you to stay up to date with their information and perhaps be able to quit Twitter as you suggested.

@pimoore Agreed. I use RSS primarily now and also people often post links to interesting news stories here.

However, I continue to subscribe to Twitter for sources that post nowhere else (or post on Facebook!). I very rarely comment on anything there. Toxicity flux is very low.

@pimoore @matti the only reason I still have a twitter account is because they still get embedded in multiple articles - and Twitter makes it painful to read tweets without an account. It's all RSS and mb for me.

@amit @matti That’s a good point about reading tweets. Now that I quit Twitter I just don’t bother clicking them, honestly. I haven’t completely decided if I’ll keep Mastodon long term yet; I’m partial to RSS and MB myself too.
