@cstross This is a misreading though. I got off Twitter in 2022. That was my decision to stop supporting the platform. I was no longer a Daily Active User.
This week I deactivatated my account. That was a purely selfish, defensive decision; I wanted to reduce my searchable online presence. (I’m not disappearing, but I want to be off the list of People Searchable On Twitter.) That doesn’t hurt the platform; it only hurts the public record.
