I had to look at a Twitter message for work reasons yesterday. I did it in a private tab. I still felt like I needed to wash afterwards. However it struck me that I don't think I've actually read anything off of Twitter for over a year and a half at this point. For me, the #Fediverse has largely replaced it.

Once you factor in Bluesky and Threads especially. I've been on the fediverse since 2018. I killed my account the summer after Musk announced he wanted to buy the thing. I loved seeing so many ex-Twitter people showing up here so I could follow them without going to Twitter. I wish more of them stuck around instead of going off to Bluesky or Threads. But I like having the options of seeing their content in an integrated experience on my fediverse network, Friendica.

I occasionally log in because it’s the best/only way to get support from
Some companies by DM but otherwise Twitter is dead to me.

@sammachin yes, and… I didn't want to live in that dystopian world, where companies don't give you good customer service unless you yell at them on social media, anyway.

Yeah, TBH this isn't even publicly berating them this is just if you send a DM you get a better response than by phone or email :(
