Deleting my Twitter account after eleven-plus years and over 23,000 tweets

Two weeks ago, I wrote about how I first heard about Twitter in 2008 and then joined it in 2011. Yesterday, I deactivated my account. If I don't log in again for 30 days, it will be deleted. In the course of my eleven-plus Twitter years, I posted about 23,300 tweets (according to the version of my account I saved last November). That comes to just over 2000 per year, or six to seven tweets a day. Although it always had problems with bots and trolls, Twitter was once a good place to hang out online, but I finally decided it was time to leave it to Musk and his ilk.
