+Farewell, again...
+
+Published on Tuesday, November 19, 2024
+
+We're living in interesting times (I think that's a very polite way of putting
+it).
+
+Back in 2008, when I joined Twitter, it was a place mostly for developers or
+nerds - and it was a good place.
+
+It's not that there were no differences of opinion there, but I don't remember
+a discussion about tabs vs spaces degenerating into death threats or lawsuits.
+
+Over time, as with the internet a few years ago, Social Media became mainstream
+and Twitter, the happy place, was no longer a happy place.
+
+I have tried to stick with it in various ways: I tried lists, read-only
+accounts and whatnot.
+
+In 2022, I joined Mastodon and in 2023 I joined Bluesky.
+
+But none of them fixed the major problem for me: politics in public.
+
+These discussions take place at a level that makes me sick and everyone claims
+the absolute truth for themselves.
+
+I don't want to spend my life reading things like that.
+
+In early 2015, I've said [9]farewell to several things.
+
+And now I'm saying farewell, again.
+
+Goodbye Social Media, and thanks for the fish.
+
+(I will keep my accounts to avoid abuse)
+
+Update:
+
+There's [10]something new here.
+
+What are your thoughts about
+"Farewell, again..."?
+[11]
+Drop me a line - I'm looking forward to your feedback!
+Please be aware that I'm [12]no longer active on social media. I'm just cross
+posting things over there (it's a bot).
