Farewell Twitter

Posted on

I had planned to cease using Twitter on 20 January in protest at Trump's election and his promotion of Elon Musk. However, events have overtaken that plan.

It is now quite clear that Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and global economic and political stability. His attitudes also create risk for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people around the world and any risk of association with anything linked to him has to now be avoided, in my opinion.

As a result, I have decided to cease using my Twitter account from now on. I will not delete it because it includes data on almost 100,000 tweets that I do not want to lose, but I am no longer willing to add to that number while Musk controls that channel and opposes almost everything that I believe in.

I will now use BlueSky as my main social media platform for this type of content, but I also post links to this blog and to my videos on Mastodon.
