@zorinlynx @jon@social.lot23.com Hard agree. Twitter was choosing what it felt was relevant for us to see rather than allowing us to choose. That was one of the main negatives for me: so much toxic stuff in my timeline because that's what Twitter thought I would engage with the most. Not fun. Please, Mastodon engineers, if you are reading this, do NOT emulate Twitter in this way. Allow users themselves to choose what to prioritize.

A 3D render I made a year ago. I haven't been doing too many lately, as I've been busy with other projects, but I've been itching to get back to doing more art again. This one's called "Abandoned Megaprinter." #blender #3dart #solarpunk

Twitter has worked well for some, and that's great. But some of us, myself included, found it toxic. I don't know if it's who I followed or the algorithm that drove my experience. And that's just it. I have no idea why those particular tweets found me. All I know is they caused a negative reaction, and that Twitter amplified that as a way to increase my engagement. So when I see the narrative coalescing around mourning the loss of Twitter, I need to push back against that. Fuck that place.

Some friends and I are talking about creating a Dungeons & Dragons supplement based on the characters, monsters, and lore from my novel King of Shards. More to come soon!

Going back and reading something I wrote almost a decade ago, remembering how I was so critical of myself and the work at the time. But now as I'm rereading it I find that it's really good, inventive, and some of my best creative work. It's funny how time and distance changes our perspective of things.

@angusm @steve_zeke a lot of it (I think) has to do with the glut of negative information, which causes people to shut down their empathy as a protection.

The Muskrat is learning first hand that expert knowledge in one domain (engineering) doesn't translate into expert knowledge in ALL domains. It's the Slashdot effect, tech nerds thinking they can solve all the world's problems because they can write killer Bash scripts. I'm having fun watching Twitter implode. It's a cesspool of mis- and disinformation.
