It's so wild witnessing the degradation of Twitter.

Ragequitting is also degrading to NPR.

Why engage on the platform when it’s rigged by a narcissist? Like the Greyrock method, disengage.

Twitter only has value so long as it has network effect. People leaving diminish it. So why not?

I wonder if this will have any domino effect, right now the only thing holding Twitter together is its network effects. According to the article on NPR's site[0], they have 8.7 million followers and run 52 different accounts so Twitter is losing a pretty important partner.

Also, no mention of Mastodon in this announcement. It sounds like they're just going to use Facebook for the time being.
