I agree, I grieve, too, Raima, after building a community on Twitter. I dumped FB years ago. Anticipating that I will deactivate (or dump) my account, I'm looking to connect with a number of the same thinkers, personalities, and writers. One way is I'm subscribing on other's web site/newsletters.And social media--I'm on Post, which is growing--I hope they hire some fired Twitter employees so they can do more (like notifications). Anyway, I'm subscribing to yours. Maybe give mine a look? www.jeanwaight.com.
Thanks, Jean - and nice to "meet" you! I checked out your interesting blog and just subscribed. I have not tried Post, but am thriving on Mastodon after just a month of being on it. If you are there as well, you can find me @raimalarter@writing.exchange.
Yes - same for me, with Google+ back whenever that happened. I'm not sure I'm ready to turn off Twitter quite yet, but I'm definitely not using it much anymore!
So sorry to hear about the gallery closing. Too many losses all at once! And, yes, send me an invite for that mastodon server. I'm still not sure I really want to go that route but I should at least try it. Still on Twitter, too...for now!
I should check out Mastodon. I had the idea it was all news, but if I go on there, I'll look for you.
I think the news one is Post, which is apparently hard to get an account on. I haven't tried it!

Yep. I went through this with Google+ several years ago as well. I nuke my Twitter account tomorrow.

It's always kind of uprooting when this happens. I'll be well rid of it by the end of the day is my current feeling.
