It was a very difficult first year. Resist the urge to go back for anything but read-only. ONLY read. No likes, no retweet, no "just saying, I'm still not on Twitter any more". Cold turkey.

I'm a LOT happier now! But it took a good year of detoxing.

I wonder if one consequence of Twitter's stoking of the far right in the UK might finally be UK Government departments closing their accounts there.

Yes, let’s move to threads. It’s a much friendlier place and I haven’t detected malicious algorithms there yet..

I logged out a week ago as I’ve been on holiday. I knew only by logging out (I can’t recall my password) I’d not mindlessly check and scroll all the time. I’ve enjoyed being free of it. And I’m inclined to stay off and maybe for good.

All hate filled radicals should leave X. X, like the USA belongs to normal rational Americans. The deranged left can/should/hopefully already decided to leave!!!
