I concluded months ago that X had become intolerable and my feed was swamped with garbage, so I deleted it then. Sad to lose touch with some, but overall definitely a good decision. Occasional use now of Threads - not yet infested with the X vitriol.
Great idea. I’d like to add my tuppence worth: Legally declare Twitter et al a publication - admittedly one that mainly consists of Letters to the Editor/Comments. This allows needed Anonymity as with newspapers:
Simple – name withheld with Editor;
Complex - where the whistleblower or the writer provides enough evidence to satisfy/embolden the Publisher (Safe Drop).
Haven’t used twitter/X for two years. Mastodon was very quiet. Substack is very good for long reads and analysis
