It not only have problems with CSEM (the real-life stuff), but there are now bots spamming it and Twitter made reporting it a chore.

"Please provide more context", WTF it's literally just CSEM plus a link I won't click even if my life depends on it!

I'm quite sad since a lot of the creators I'm following are still only there, or on the boneless fediverse app BlueSky (which is worse in some ways), and I still need to keep it around just to protect my user handle there and to look things up from time to time.

Once I'm at home from work, I'm locking my account, and put up a farewell message to whoever might miss me.

I'm not saying that the fediverse is perfect, far from it (especially certain segments of Lemmy), but it's a way better experience than whatever Xitter (or Reddit for that matter) tries to be. I even have more reach, especially since the whole paid blue checkmark thing.

I'm glad you're leaving that cesspool behind. That said, just not doing the thing is also an option. I've replaced Reddit one to one with Lemmy but I'd just as soon forego the whole thing. I've never seen the allure of Twitter and I have a Mastodon account but I don't see it there either.

I think I'm gonna delete that as well and just live without it.

Going back to monke is always a valid option

If current Twitter was the only option for internet, I wouldn't want an internet.
