title: Bye Bye Twitter
---
So, I deleted all of my Twitter accounts.
My main account, my AD account and the account I posted photos of food I
cooked.
The latter I haven't posted on in a while anyway, since I have a Telegram group
for that now. 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. See link in the bottom.
I also tried installing Friendica on a shared web hosting to run an instance
myself, but it threw weird error messages I didn't find a solution to. Also,
administering and moderating seem to be time-consuming, so... nah.
