I think of Twitter , or X, does go away everyone's mental health will improve.

I'm one of them!

Y'know, I had a love/hate relationship to twitter in the before-elon times.

On the one hand, it was a strange, toxic brew of hellish nonsense and porn On the other hand, there was a critical mass of engaged experts on lots of subjects, weighing in on current events in near-real-time.

It was like having the history faculty of several colleges on hand when historical questions came up, but in order to get their takes on anything you'd have to wade through trolls and bots and fascist sycophants to get there.

I'm a sucker for learning things and I'll put up with a lot for the pleasure of feeding my brain but by the time Elon took the reigns the signal:noise ratios had gone too far negative to be worth it.

70% to go!!

I believe in us. We can bring that number to 60% or higher by the end of this year, if we all do our part.

I am a Twitter "user" in the sense that I read the site for a few minutes every few days to see the latest news or drama.

Recently all the Elon drama is boring. So I'm in that decreased user count.

Musk: "Totally intentional, everyone. This is exactly what I planned for. I am, however, going to sue the US Government for allowing freedom of the press to report it."

I uninstalled the app after the rebrand. Twitter bird used occasionally, X app sat there looking like a porn app so I uninstalled.

Yay

Good! Though I'm sure many will move to Threads
