Leaving Eccs

Or the site formerly known as Twitter.

Everyone has their limits, and I've reached mine. Elmo's overt support of Judenhass (as Anti-Semitism used to be called before the Viennese got all prissy about it) is something up with which I will not put.

I may post more stuff here. It depends on how many spoons I have and whether I think I have anything worthwhile to say.

You can also find me on:

An Archive Of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Murphyslawyer - yes, I occasionally write fiction. You don't have to go there.
Bluesky: murphyslawyer - an acceptable Twitter substitute for me, for now. I know who put it together, I know where it can go, but as of today, it's okay. Except for those who seem to delight in shouting about or at Mastodon: block, mute, byeeeee.
Mastodon: https://mstdn.social/@murphyslawyer - interesting and okay for now. Except for those who seem to delight in shouting about or at Bluesky: block, mute, byeeeee.
Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/kawaiibarbariansublime: light-hearted bantz and reposting things, which is how Tumblr works. Still works, even.

Apparently quite lot of the Big Name Brand advertisers agree with you and have also left, and taken their money with them.

I suspect an apologetic retraction and some humble pie will be in the offering soon... or maybe not, I think Elon might be experiencing some buyers remorse and has decided to burn it down instead of doing what any sane person would do.

If I had any money on this, it would be on the latter.

A couple of days ago I asked AO3 tech support if it's possible to switch off the twitter status feed on their homepage and use one of the alternatives. No reply yet, but I hope it will get them thinking about it.
