Im getting too many texts from friends, saying, are you okay? Its lovely of them to ask. But Im just fine. I cant say the same for a lot of other people and things.

If I seem quieter over the next few weeks, it is going to be in part because I vowed that after the election, no matter what the result, Id get off Twitter/X, get my news more directly from news sources (instead of using social media as a newsfeed), and write a book.

But also Im partly going to be in that GPS app mode: recalculating route. Theres more to be done, and we will all figure out what that must be.

(31,059 posts)5. There's an ongoing mass exodus taking place from Twitter to Bluesky by liberals, journos, politicians and even govt
I've been having trouble finding liberal (DU-worthy) content on Twitter for the last few days - it's because the people I follow are leaving and most say they're heading to Bluesky. I'm still monitoring Twitter for breaking news, etc.

Dump Twitter if you havent already. Bluesky setup is very similar to X, and it doesnt promote Fascism and enrich Elmo the Fascist.
