Matt Blaze on Nostr: I understand the urge to delete ones’ Twitter/X account, and for many people, ...
I understand the urge to delete ones’ Twitter/X account, and for many people, that’s a sensible choice. But I’m just leaving mine intact but dormant (as it’s been for a couple years now), and for some, that may be a better option.
The reason is that there are a lot of links to tweets and threads that have accumulated over the years, including from many prominent news publishers. I don’t want to support X, but I also don’t want to contribute to memory-holing this history.
It’s a balance.
