Oddbean new post about login | logout I get that everyone mourns at their own pace when an online community is lost, but the fact that we're now hitting the one-year mark and people are still writing articles titled The Moral Case for Quitting Twitter really does showcase the traumatic dependency these platforms create
Or how much of a crybaby you are over trivial things
@38fcf2ec it hit me really hard when I heard he was buying it. I did most of my mourning until November when I left. Now I am happily addicted to Mastodon!
@38fcf2ec @098a11ae After Facebook increased the volume and reach of MAGA, I deleted my account and all my content there, that day. After Twitter started hosting a Tucker Carlson talk show, I deleted my seldom used Twitter account that day. If you become dependent on any particular online community, and don't posses the presence of mind to know what your core values are as a human being, you're gonna get used up. I think it was PT Barnum who said "There's a sucker born every minute"
