So I ended up not deactivating, after thinking through not wanting to leave my username open. But this is the first time I've been here in 3 weeks, and I don't see that changing. Doing all my shooting the shit over on Threads now. How's it travelling, friends who are still here?

Sunday is going to be the day that I deactivate here, I think. Twitter was a v important conduit for me 2009-2013ish (I've been here since 2009), less so 2013ish to the pando, then essential again in 2020-21. But Twitter is gone now. Time to say goodbye to the shell.

@VeronicaFoale I rarely if ever look at it on desktop so for now I will cherish my mobile blue bird until it's gone, then I'll likely go too.

Imagine buying Twitter, one of the most recognizable brands in the world—your logo is on nearly every website, product packaging, business card, storefront you can imagine—and you decide to just throw all that away and call it “X.” This is the New Coke of our generation.

Saw this article linked on Threads, came by here to see what Twitter thought of it. As usual, Scalzi is on the money. I can't see it being too long now til the lights go out for good around here.

@awmalloy I think I'm weeks away at most from deactivating here. Once Threads gets text search and following tab, not much reason to hang.

@awmalloy Ditto. If hashtags come in I'll probably fully bail from this one.

@ZucchiniBikini I really like it, and have spending more time on there. It's more conversational , here for now is more, um, informational. If they introduce #tags and content search I can't see myself being on here much at all.

I am no athlete and I'm also fat, so my chances of getting to Excellent or Very Good are about nil, but going to see if I can improve enough to scrape the bottom of Good. Cardiovascular health is my biggest motivation to exercise, so seeing it going in the right direction is nice

I have been making a real effort to do a sizeable walk every day and do my exercises, and Fitbit has now rewarded my efforts, reporting my cardiovascular fitness level as Average, a step up from where it used to be at Fair. I consider that a result, quite frankly.

Just bc they decide to go a direction that seems *to me* to be less efficient or more complicated or less logical, doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong. And even if it IS "wrong", it's not my problem or my fault if I provided the best advice I could.

I am very clear that, as an external consultant, my role is to advise, but then to follow the direction the organisational decision-maker determines, provided it's not actually unlawful (has never happened to me) or unethical (has happened twice - I withdrew from projects).

Workplace observation: I find it hard to communicate /defend decisions I didn't make & don't fully agree with. But I do it, without passive-aggressive snarking, bc I respect the decision-maker's authority to make the decision. I understand that they have access to a broader view.
