I’ve deleted all my social media apps (including YOU - LinkedIn).

I’m trying to really see and feel what’s actually missing in my life and trying to build it. Right now I just want to see what my friends are up to in a non-curated way.

Well done, LinkedIn is a cesspool. Ironically the only thing I am using right now is Twitter, since a lot of interesting people are still on there. There's a lot of negative but balance as well. For every MAGA or ESR's comments, I balance it out with Miguel de Icaza's views on Gaza, etc.

You should be able to use Twitter without justifying yourself

Yeah you are right. But there is some really toxic stuff there too that isn't going away. You can't really filter it.

No, I would say at this point a lot of people who say they use twitter feel the need to say they aren't a nazi nor do they support nazi's. YOU may not feel that way, but a lot of people do, and they don't want to be associated in any way with endorsing nazi's or musk.

"Should" being the operative word. It was easier a few years ago
