das hier habe ich ĂŒber einen mastodon account gefunden. da ich mit twitter nie etwas zu tun hatte, finde ich das doch ziemlich erstaunlich:
Itâs time to start leaving Twitter behind
The thing is, there have always been good reasons to quit Twitter. From the beginning, people found that the platform was too distracting, too depressing, too polarizing, too addictive. [...]
So common is the idea of quitting Twitter that, by the middle of the decade, some writers were already begging their peers to stop writing essays about it. âThere Is No Need to Explain Why You Quit Twitter,â read the headline of a Richard Lawson piece in Vanity Fair in 2015.
âThe Internet requires nothing of you and you owe it nothing, least of all an explanation for why youâre ceasing to use one of its many services,â Lawson wrote. âItâs rarely a good look, trying to give thoughtful shape to what is, almost always, a petty personal decision the way most personal decisions are petty. âI just donât want to be on there anymoreâ is the absolute maximum that anyone should say about any of this.â
