I'm out of step and closing down
Nov. 30th, 2023 02:34 pmHeh, don't worry about me, I'm actually doing quite well, thank you very much.
No, this is about me contemplating closing down certain social media accounts that I've had for a while. Yeah, I'm pretty much at the point where I'm probably going to delete my old Twitter memory banks, unfollow nearly everyone and put it in cold storage. I'm rarely there and when I am there, I get depressed by how far it's fallen. (It's like I go there to hate-watch these days, and I've got better and more productive things to do in my life.) I have very little use for it anymore other than distraction, specifically the kind I don't want.
Unlike LJ, which I was able to safely transfer nearly all my old entries over here to Dreamwidth, it's not as if I can do so with Twitter, not that I want to. Sure, I had my moments of silliness, clarity, embarrassment, and everything in between, but I don't really think it's worth saving to any degree. I can do without it in my life.
What I'll probably do starting tomorrow is do a daily tweet to let everyone know I'm going silent over there, where they can find me elsewhere, and do a countdown to 12/31 when I'll go silent.
It's been an interesting journey, but it's time to move on from there.
