Was on twitter because 'it was hot'. I never discovered why, I found it even more annoying then open plan office spaces, lots of unwanted noice, no content. So I left and never looked for an alternative.

Since I left, never felt fomo, just yomo. Especialky with Musk taking over xitter I'm amazed not everybody went quitter.

I have not used a microblogging site for years, but I rediscovered it with Mastodon, which actually does have good content and isn't so full of chatter that the good content gets overwhelmed. It helps that you can subscribe to hashtags. I follow #Archaeology and get amazing and fascinating links. I rarely post, but I scroll.
