There’s also the fact that much of what happens in the crypto world plays out on Twitter, so even if I stopped posting there, I would likely need to continue to use the site in order to keep up on my reporting. One could certainly argue I should stop using Twitter completely, and who cares if I miss something in the crypto world, but turning a blind eye to things that are only going to become more important to follow in the coming years feels like the decidedly wrong choice to me. As for alternatives, I do recommend both Mastodon and Bluesky. They’re very different, and your experience on both will differ depending on which corners of the platforms you wind up in, but I find them to be lovely and joyful places — certainly in comparison to Twitter. Then there’s RSS, which is more of a one-way street, but brings me a lot of joy and is one of the primary ways I find good writing and smart people online these days.
