I still have an account on Twitter because I interact with a lot of super people, but I don't know if I can stay there much longer. It's like, would I go to a party at a person's place that I know to be a total scumbag? The answer is "no" so every day I stay on that platform it feels like I am not being true to myself.

@EdgeOErin as someone who deactivated the day 45 was allowed back on, I can honestly say, every day gets better...you will be fine. You do not need to do that to yourself. There are super people here and more every day. I have not looked back.

@EdgeOErin I'm feeling more and more torn. I'm loving it here, and on Mastodon. I'm connecting with new folks and making new connections.

There are people I care about on that site, but it's clear its becoming something toxic. That doesn't mean I have to be toxic though. It doesn't mean I can't choose to be better there.

In some ways that may be especially important, as it's falling to dark to point towards a brighter way.

@EdgeOErin There comes a point where the battle is done though. Where my effect is limited. Engagement is already off a cliff...

@EdgeOErin Had same dilemma. Altho it broke my heart to leave, staying went against my principles. Finally decided 3 weeks ago to leave, especially after TFG was reinstated there, & it feels great! I did notify several ppl i connected with that i was exiting Twitter. Very hard saying goodbye, but haven't looked back. I totally understand how u feel.

@BlueTsunami Thanks for sharing that. I've some wonderful friends there and people who have been very supportive of my writing. As an Indie writer it is EXTREMELY hard to build a following. Anyway, thinking about things...

@EdgeOErin Of course if its connected to ur career, then i understand ur conflicted feelings. U know what's best for u.

@BlueTsunami Thanks for your clarity and understanding. If I had the power and influence of Stephen King, I would be so out of there!

@EdgeOErin Lol thx ... & I'm sure ur successful in ur own right😄

@EdgeOErin I'm still there for updates on Alberta's idiot fake leader, and the but I've blocked a lot of words and accounts in the last month.
