I respect your treating Twitter like a utility and staying to save it from "the inside". For me, the double advantage of kicking my addiction to Twitter and getting out of the toxic hellhole Musk -- one of the people I most loathe in the world -- is sure to create was too powerful to resist. Glad you keep reading you here Sree.
I am so troubled by this. I keep thinking that if people like you, Jeff Jarvis, Rachel Maddow, etc. stay, then Twitter can remain a place for discussion and engagement away from the trolls. But I know deep down that is not true. I joke — but it is true — that baby-boomers stay on Facebook because it's where we talk to our second cousins. To me Meta's toxicity is worth putting aside because of the community I have there. I am not sure I will be able to maintain such a community on Twitter.
