I checked out from Twitter mid-summer, and have used it maybe twice or three times since.
It’s so much better NOT using it! I miss some of the conversations, but I can find my connections elsewhere.
HN is my only social media now.
- arlcode 4y agoI only read tweets from (self) currated lists of science / institutional Twitter accounts that provided great content or ideas (random examples: ESA, Ken Sheriff, Brian Krebs, Blender etc). The fundamental change was switching over to the "latest" feed instead of "top". This skips all the inflamatory and political drama-lama stuff that is (almost) never relevant in the long term (and if it is, it will be reported elsewhere in long form). In fact whenever I feel "enganged" by Twitter it's usually because they, once again, switched my timeline mode back. I wish there was a way to get a "topical feed" that allows me to discover without the obvious attempts to inject unreleated content (in particular anything from the mind of Elon Musk)
