I quit Twitter during the COVID-mania, around early 2021 I think, after being on it pretty consistently since January 2009. I quit because I accidentally exited the bubble of popular opinion and had a real "Through the Looking Glass" moment.
In the 12 years I used Twitter I met lots of people in real-life through it, I know some some very good friends through it and it's been a consistent source and outlet for information and quirky humour.
Now the surprising (for me) thing: After quitting it from one day to another ... nothing happened. I was bracing myself for a time void that would pop up and need filling with something else (something more productive?) but that just didn't happen. It felt a bit like the stories from people who quit smoking cold turkey after 20 years and they just didn't get any withdrawal symptoms.
TL;DR - Quit Twitter, nothing happened. Would recommend.
