I'm in the process of deleting my bird account, double checking that I've saved any art that I might not have stored somewhere else, and it's both cathartic and heartwrenching.
It's a complete hellhole now, but I have so many good memories from the before times.
@finkled I met so many amazing creators on that stupid site and it helped me get through some really rough times. I'm definitely in the denial stage of grief with it.
@CarrieLikesCoffee I really enjoyed following J(ewish)twitter and library / neurodivergent folk. But at least some of us are here now 😊
@CarrieLikesCoffee deleted mine yesterday. I had a very old account, and in fact had the Bill Elliott handle. Always hoped that the race car driver would nmake me an offer for it but alas it never happened haha.
@INtlBill I have 2 very old accounts and a lot of posts so I might just throw in the towel soon and nuke them both.
Bill Elliot being cheap
@CarrieLikesCoffee yeah, the cheap bastid!!
@CarrieLikesCoffee 😘
Yeah, feels good once you delete that account
@LindaWisner I hope so. Right now it's like trying to take off a really big really sticky bandaid. Like I know I've got to just rip it off but I also know it's gonna hurt like hell for a hot minute.
New ownership has a tendency to that from time to time.
You will discover another platform that will fulfill what you need so don’t sweat it!
Keep up the art and good work!👍
@CarrieLikesCoffee Same. I saved screenshots of my profile page because the completely intangible loss is still real.
