We're living in interesting times (I think that's a very polite way of putting it).

Back in 2008, when I joined Twitter, it was a place mostly for developers or nerds - and it was a good place.

It's not that there were no differences of opinion there, but I don't remember a discussion about tabs vs spaces degenerating into death threats or lawsuits.

Over time, as with the internet a few years ago, Social Media became mainstream and Twitter, the happy place, was no longer a happy place.

I have tried to stick with it in various ways: I tried lists, read-only accounts and whatnot.

In 2022, I joined Mastodon and in 2023 I joined Bluesky.

But none of them fixed the major problem for me: politics in public.

These discussions take place at a level that makes me sick and everyone claims the absolute truth for themselves.

I don't want to spend my life reading things like that.

In early 2015, I've said farewell to several things.

And now I'm saying farewell, again.

Goodbye Social Media, and thanks for the fish.

(I will keep my accounts to avoid abuse)

Update:

There's something new here.
