I’m leaving X/Twitter. The reasons for this include that it is an increasingly unpleasant user experience, as the algorithm serves up rage-bait and viciously nasty responses; that my posts are not getting the traction that they used to, and Bluesky is much better from that point of view; and that I don’t want to add further value to a platform that is helping its owner to become richer and more powerful especially considering the purposes for which that power is being used.

I have disabled auto-tweeting of blog posts from here; I have deleted a few future Tweets that I had queued up in Buffer. I will still check in occasionally, but not daily.

Be seeing you on Bluesky, LinkedIn, Facebook (for the time being) and here. It was fun! Until it wasn’t.
