When I quit Twitter

Not yet, but almost. People are leaving Twitter’s timeline. It means I’m losing various reasons to stay on its timeline.

This is not just Twitter’s death. It is the death of SNS.

I came up with fancy iOS features, screen time, and focus mode. I haven’t tried it seriously since it was released, however. I struggled to make my own filters to reduce my screen time for a couple of hours. Thus, I could finally forget about social networks, including Twitter.

I don’t need Twitter as my input source these days, but I still want to keep posting my thoughts to distribute my ideas as records. But Twitter is not enough for that purpose. I need more options.
So I am playing with Mastodon and Nostr as other options.

Multi-posting is not the top priority for me. Cos each social network has its own culture and context. My current passion is to join multiple communities instead of relying on just one giant platform.

Decentralization is coming to our social media

Mastodon must have been getting more users since a few days ago due to Twitter’s policy update, or downgrade, in other words.

I am optimistic about this situation.

More people on Twitter, even Japanese speakers, can jump into the Mastodon world. I doubt we all in the same Twitter timeline can meet again at Mastodon, but it is the new norm. We don’t need to use a single giant platform, as we have accepted without any doubt in the last decade.

This is also a massive step towards web3. We’re on the way. Distributed and decentralized, but have no barrier.
