from Twitter. I freed myself from Twitter. As in, I deactivated my account. I just couldn't deal with the muskrat's shit anymore (see my prev. post for context). Some of y'all may have noticed my Twitter name being removed from my intro post, so that's why.
As for how I feel about it, I like it for the most part. The one thing I miss the most is how easy it is to find stuff on search engines (granted, it probably sucks ass in some aspects, but I will forever respect it way more than Tumblr's search system), as well as the fact that (so far) a lot of East/Southeast Asian artists I followed don't have accs on other socmed sites. (except for Pixiv, but idk if I'll ever make an acc. there.)
But in terms of me not having Twitter anymore, I find I'm dopescrolling a lot less in general, and my Internet usage has sort of become more purposeful (as in, me mostly using it to look up and engage in specific things, rather than let the algorithm/my timeline lead me around). I've also logged off more and done productive shit more often than when I had Twitter. I'm also experiencing way less Discourse(TM), so that's fun.
