Deleted my tdotrob and deepqueue accounts off the birdsite today. I was a bit of an evangelist for the site back in the day so it took a while to come to terms with dropping it entirely.

Thing is, moderation and an anchor in reality are essential ingredients at this scale. Elmo has discarded both. There's a good argument that an API is at least a strong force multiplier or even essential, and that's now gone as well.

So I'm done. Burned the boats and committed to the Fediverse.

@tdotrob I came here to last April and burned the boat that carried me. My mental health has benefited greatly and I hope you will have the same positive experience!

@cassandra17lina Thanks! So far getting a bit less engagement but of much higher quality so it's a net positive.

@tdotrob I’m actually getting proportionally much more engagement here, and from much nicer people.

@cassandra17lina If today is any indication, I might as well if I posted more and less . That latter being something of a niche audience, I suspect. 😉
