Deactivated my account with Elon's toxic bot farm after some delay, mostly to make sure various clients and followers saw the various posts I made to follow me on different sites.

It is too bad, as Twitter was a decent site for a good many years. I joined in 2013, but didn't start really using it until 2017, and it turned out to be quite valuable in advertising books and my art for little cost. Then the Patron Saint of Enshittification bought it out and it went into a long, slow death spiral of escalating bigotry, RW bullshit, and worshipping algorithms.  I thought I could hang on and just use it for book/art promotion, but engagement on most of my posts dropped 90% or more, and most of that seemed to be bots.

There were still a few humans who followed and engaged, so thanks for that, fellow organics. But it finally became too much.

For social media, you guys can still find me on BLUE SKY and MASTODON!

If people have any other decent social media sites they can recommend, especially maybe non-US ones, let me know. I might be interested!
