In the early days, Twitter was OK; I was late to the party, having invested most of my time in IRC, Jaiku and then identi.ca a for runner of Mastodon.

This is a controversial view, I know, but I have to partly agree with Elon Musk about how Twitter leaned so far left that a lifelong Conservative such as myself considered leaving. Then, once Elon bought it, a lot of the individuals whose views I disagree with decided to jump ship initially to my beloved Fediverse (Mastodon); however, they soon came crawling back, I presume, in the hope that "Maybe things aren't going to be that bad?" Then Trump came back along with one or two questionable individuals, and it was too much to bear, so a second exodus to Mastodon occurred, but yet again, some folk just couldn't let go of their daily fix of Taylor Swift or clickbait posts.

It seems to me 𝕏 has degenerated into a lousy experience, especially if, like me, you only have a Freebie account. My timeline is filled with Elon and Trump posts and numerous bots. I think deleting my account is slightly childish, similar to those who shout at airline check-in staff, "I'LL NEVER FLY WITH EL CHEAPO AGAIN!" I doubt El Cheapo gives a crap, and neither does Elon.

I have an account on Bluesky, but my timeline seems to be the flip side of my 𝕏 timeline. 98% left-wing with views that make me shout at the computer screen. Then again, I also shout at the computer screen on 𝕏, and now that's nearly 100% right-wing! 🤣
