I’ve been on the platform for a number of years, but have been following the crowd reducing the exposure to the turmoil on Twitter. Here are a few of the items from the last few months I marked as favourites. The styling isn’t quite what I want, so I might change some of the tooling to bring it more in line with the other pages here.

I think recognizing how Twitter delivers EXACTLY what we secretly desire is super important, and I don't think I see it talked about often enough. Among other things, it explains why Mastodon will not work as a replacement for some people: Mastodon doesn't replicate those terrible things that make Twitter exactly what it is.
