I stopped using my main account long ago. It stressed me too much. It took too much of my free time. I always had the feeling I _had to_ keep up with it. Now, deleting it was only the consequence. My AD account I still used occasionally, but keeping only this around felt wrong, too. + +The main trigger for this was Twitter changing its TOS and Privacy Policy every once in a while, and I don't want to read and accept those changes every time. Also, the layout changes, ad insertions, and weird-by-default-trending timeline are annoying too. + +So now I'm completely on Mastodon.

Also, administering and moderating seem to be time-consuming, so... nah. -- cgit v1.2.3
