Minutes after releasing blogpost on 2024 goal to quit social media consumption I saw your note. I think a lot of people are disappointed by Elon's governance.

This is excerpt from my post on Twitter particularly:

"When founder left, some spirit of last redemption died with Titter.. Elon built some crazy things, but I had to unfollow him a month or so after “Twitter files”. Guy was just so drastically looking to start media fires, drive engagement. Pattern may be familiar to students of Game. Desperate look. A lot of fintwit from 2019-2021 accounts stopped posting. AI hype several months ago on main feed was terribly bad. Crypto bots tagging, fake followers.. And I don’t even have scale, so what about high profile accounts? What’s their UX like? Community notes? Ain’t effective when note is approved 2 days after viral misinfo had spread. Putin trolls like Hinke outright buy followers in hundred thousands. For past year – a wave of growth hackers with purchased blue checks now spam high profile account replies with GPT written explainers or summaries.

For past months, most of the times I would visit 2-3 profiles directly by URL, not the feed.

In one of best accidents of 2023, I saw Ben Evan’s tweet with link to his blog “Leaving Twitter“. It did not plant an idea, that was already there, but it was water."

Welcome, and glad to see diversity of topics growing here.
