[reply↩] Deleted my Twitter account | jamesvandyne.com

I’ve been teetering on giving up my X-Twit account for the longest now; I only peek in occasionally to see what’s trending but I haven’t actually posted there in months except to tell people to come to any one of the other places I am active or point me to another place that isn’t actively cultivating misinformation.

I also want to make sure StarrWulfe is held down over there so squatters don’t grab it and start doing nefarious things with my self-coined, long-held handle.

🤔 Should I just pull the plug entirely just so I can say “I’m totally done with this place” though? That would mean I’m totally done with the place, and until I can figure out where some of my follows are outside of the place, I’m apprehensive…

  1. I also want to make sure StarrWulfe is held down over there so squatters don’t grab it and start doing nefarious things with my self-coined, long-held handle.

    I had similar worries as well, especially as my handle was my full name. But then I had the realization that my <em>actual</em> handle is my domain. And I don't create accounts everywhere possible e.g. country specific social media platforms just in-case someone does nefarious things, so why is Twitter any different? Lastly, having on <a href="https://famichiki.jp">famichiki.jp</a> (foreigners in Japan crowd) and <a href="https://bird.makeup/">bird.makeup</a> (follow twitter accounts on mastodon...for the stragglers) really solidified my need to not "need" it.
