The slow goodbye to Twitter

I’m emotionally detaching myself from social media

It seems like every day brings something different to the world of Twitter. Bad business practice. Crazy layoffs. And very questionable behaviour from Elon.

I have no idea what will come next. And if I’m honest about it, I think I don’t actually care. Every day that passes I seem to care less and I’m resenting more the distractions and the checking of who said what.

The best way to annoy me is to waste my time. Twitter is increasingly doing that and it’s starting to annoy me.

What I feel Twitter is great for atm is keeping in touch with people. Initial introductions. DMs. And maybe that is how I will look at it, for now at least. I’m a bit tired of everything else tbh.

I’m not closing my accounts(s) down, but I definitely care less and will be posting less. even if that habit is hard to break. I do have a natural instinct to just quickly Tweet what’s on my mind. Partly I need to refrain myself from doing that or directing that energy into my building up my owned following (like I’m doing here with Indiependent).

What social is taking away from us?

Now my mind is shifted away from any emotion about the loss of Twitter and more towards what does Twitter stop us from doing? What is it taking away from us?
