“Goodnight America” (@MikoMarks)
I’ve been less active here on purpose lately, and now I’m done.
You can find me at 🟦. Just search my first name. There’s a good community building up over there.
In the meantime, have a listen:

I can see arguments for this. But, respectfully:
1. As real content leaves, the “enshittification” here will accelerate. Eventually the trolls will just be trolling each other.
2. The algorithm stifles most good content here. My somewhat smaller audience at 🟦 is more engaged.

I believe the scientific community abandoning Twitter is a mistake. I understand this is not a place for much good faith dialogue, but it’s a highly used public platform and leaving it to armies of paid disinformation actors, frauds, and armies of trolls to fill in information space is not strategic. The alternative platforms might be nice for internal discussions on niche issues, but they are not compelling as highly viewed sources.

I mean, honestly... why are you sticking around here when there's a great alternative.

On National Bison Day, we celebrate this majestic symbol of strength and resilience. The bison represents our rich American heritage and is one of the greatest conservation success stories of all time.

54% of US adults cannot read at a 6th grade level.
The US today proves that you can have mass functional illiteracy and still have a successful - even thriving - economy.
But what you can't have with mass functional illiteracy is a successful democracy.

Twitter still has informational utility, but depending on what happens in a week, it could go from bad to worse.
I'm trying to spend more (useful) time elsewhere ⛅️ and less here. 🧵

Once you follow a few relevant accounts, it just picks up from there.
Anyhow, give it a try. While this site still has good information from reliable accounts, it's becoming more of a pain to navigate. A good alternative exists, and I'm spending more time there. ⛅️🧵
