I did. I don't miss it. It caused so much anxiety. I muted so many words and they would just sneak on through anyway.

Twitter was invaluable for quick organizing (IMO that’s the reason it was destroyed) and the American holiday tweets are something I will sorely miss. However, I never made any real human connections there, and like you, my anxiety was through the roof. I cut the cord, so to speak, months before Mersk even floated the idea. I am a much more relaxed person now.

It connected me to a lot of people and a lot of opportunities in the early days. I don’t think I’m overstating it to say that a large chunk of my success can be traced back to using Twitter effectively back in 2008-2012. However, it recently occurred to me that it’s given me nothing but downside and stress since 2015 or so. I nuked my account a few months back and I’m shocked how little I miss it.
