I am now seeing the "I'm gone....well, not really" syndrome on Twitter.
People saying "I'm leaving", but still posting there first.
Sheesh.
@gshevlin lying how novel for that place
@catlynne333 They just cannot bring themselves to leave.
@gshevlin @catlynne333 I just deactivated my account last night after following @th3j35t3r’s instructions (& downloading my data beforehand). I didn’t do a goodbye tweet or anything. I went ahead and joined Bluesky since a lot of accounts I follow moved over there. It’s decent so far. I made sure to note that I’m on counter.social in my bio. I also posted on FB about it to my like-minded friends, though I had to get creative because FB was trying to block my link to CoSo. #Recruiting #FBSucks
@GEAUXJayna @catlynne333 @th3j35t3r Facebook has been blocking CoSo's URL for years.
@gshevlin @catlynne333 @th3j35t3r Yeah, I noticed that a while back when I attempted to share info about it. I think my post sharing the article about @th3j35t3r was removed a while back. So stupid. My FB feed keeps switching to mostly ads until I mess with the settings every so often. I mostly go on there to keep up with a few friends and family, a couple pages/groups I follow, etc. It’s just gotten progressively worse over the years, but at least it hasn’t gotten as bad as Twitter.
@GEAUXJayna @catlynne333 @th3j35t3r I left Facebook in 2018. Once in a while I go back there and confirm that i made the right decision by leaving.
@gshevlin @catlynne333 @th3j35t3r Yep - if it weren’t for keeping in touch with some people, I probably wouldn’t be on there either. I try to limit my time looking at it to once or twice a day and for not very long each time.
