Woof, I did it, I deactivated my twitter account. Been wanting to do that for a while. I really struggled with it, because Musk kept doing things that I disliked, and I kept reading about things he was doing that I disliked. Him joining the Trump administration as an unelected official seems to have put it over the top for sports journalists.
Unfortunately the proliferation of micro blogging sites led to more social media. I didn't know which place to place my bets, so I did Tribal, Mastodon, Sky Blue, Threads.
Threads is similar in it's a sick oligarch we know about. I'm not sure others aren't as evil as twitter and threads, but I don't know yet. And they weren't in Europe, where I get a lot of soccer news. I think they're in Europe now, but I'm not sure.
Tribal is too beggy. Mastodon and Blue Sky seemed to be doing fine.
I got some sex workers looking to sell me content on Blue Sky, but I just blocked them.
I followed a trans woman and I got everything slanted towards that when I first signed up.
Now all the sports journalists are signing up to Blue Sky. The issue with Blue Sky was it was hard to get an invite, as they wanted to control the growth. But they added a million users yesterday, so I think Blue Sky is the winner over Mastodon.
