I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

I saw the impact of them siloing their user base yesterday when a trade was made for one of my sports teams. The news broke on Twitter and I heard about it on a local radio show. I tried to find it in the news but I couldn't. I don't use Twitter so I wasn't able to see any info on the trade for another 2 hours until local news and other services started to confirm and replicate the Twitter post.

It's incredibly short sighted of them to do this.
