   I had to set up a Twitter and a Threads account to promote a WordCamp.... The content/users that are recommended to you are even worse when the networks have no information about you.... I'm so glad I deleted all my Meta and Twitter accounts and hope to hand over the WordCamp accounts soon!

   I'm happy to be in the #fediverse, and even happier not to have algorithmic feeds there!

     @pfefferle I still have my #Twitter / #X account, but I am no longer active there. I do have a #Threads account, but my primary reason for using it is to connect with friends & family—as well as introduce them to the wider #Fediverse. 🤩

     @darnell I had a pretty positive and mostly professional community on Twitter, so I haven't seen a lot of bad stuff... But the "For you" pages for newly created accounts... 🤢

     A click is worth about a nickel. My grandad used to those who did business with miscreants are "the lint on the sticky parts."

     I still hope we’ll get to rely less and less on Twitter in the WordPress community. It’s where things mostly happened for years, still it feels weird having to rely on a closed platform owned by, oh well, that guy.
