#Big-Tech

For obvious reasons, I left Twitter. I kept the archive, because it is almost 10 years of stuff what I wrote. Some of which was funny, personal and / or interesting (to me).
Now, even with the archive, I don’t want there to be any links back to the nazi bar. So, if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you clicked on a link there. It’s okay. I do it too sometimes. I’m not immune to wishing it was better. I’m not immune to hoping to find that friends have signed off and deleted their accounts.
In the meantime, you can probably work out the original link if you really want to follow it - just look at the url for this post.

Alternatives to X
OK, so you’ve read my plea to leave X , and you’re thinking… ok, they have a point, but…

Why are you still on X?
Elon Musk gives a Nazi salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration rally. Now that Elon Musk has made his allegiances and motivations pretty clear, I have to ask a question. Why are you still on X?
I get it. You’re a big organisation and in some ways, in spite of that size, you’re vulnerable if you lose your audience. But, I have to ask again. Why are you still on X?
