Yipes, Twitter

I've been on twitter, on and off, since 2008.

And Elon Fuckhead Musk just closed the building.

The expectation is that Twitter is going to go away, and that, as they say, will be that.

I'm going to miss the people I've met there, and more than that, the people I've kept up there since I left a place near and dear to my heart (*) four or so years back. (*) It was one of those wonderful places with the few Very Awful Scum people, and in the end, their toxicity was enough to make me feel I would be best served by leaving. I made good friends there, and I miss them, and kept up with them on twitter and now I feel like I'm going to lose them all over again.

I'm old enough to remember the trauma of many people when TinyMud went down decades ago, the total loss that. I also remember when livejournal imploded and the communities that were destroyed I feel the same will happen with twitter. Community will be lost and will not come back.

We shall see.
