I removed my Twitter account around the time Elon took over. I knew it was gonna be bad when he took over. Reddit, I closed my account on the 1st. I hated the official app and saw it was going to die as well.

I keep Twitter on just because it's the most effective way of getting tech support from some of the companies in my country. But I am avoiding using it on a principle. Reddit, well... the way it turned out doesn't rub me the right way. This is good enough for now, hopefully it grows into something more reliable and as equally informative.
glad im not the only one thinking like this
Same here, glad to be doing this with all of you
I just joined Lemmy today for this same reason. Let's see how it goes.
The main thing I use Twitter for is to follow local sports and unfortunately, only one of the local reporters has a Mastodon account
One of us .. ONE OF US .. O N E O F US!!
Delete Facebook too and you are done.
Honestly just don't bother with mastodon.
I deleted Twitter years ago and don't miss it at all.
Not so much the big tech it’s the level of invective of the people on said platforms..
