As a member of a rather vulnerable minority, I had made pretty liberal use of the block feature on Twitter. Of course, I left when Musk took over and switched to Mastodon, but my account's still there. I didn't delete it or anything. Might have to now.
I deleted mine the day Elon bought it... Lol. I honestly never cared for Twitter too much but I admit I get a lot of news from it (specifically because I am following the ukrainian situation pretty closely).
I'm not part of any minority, but sympathize and will be deleting my account now. However, I'm wondering if I should block everything I see first the refresh several times. Knowing that 1 cent came out of their wallet because of me sounds pretty enticing nbl
How do you use Mastodon, if I may ask? I briefly registered and tried using it but it came off as highly populated with conservatives so I promptly left. :/
The mastodon instance hosted by the same people as this lemmy instance is nice.
