R.E.M. quit Twitter

(I refuse to call it by its egotistical scum bag owner’s new name.)

Hope Mike Mills sacks it off too. He’s the only reason I still have it. It’s an utter cesspit, designed to serve the purpose of the prick who owns it, and people like him. The ultimate source of misinformation and manipulation.

This could potentially be a landmark moment in human history. The moment where we take back the Internet. A big fuck you to Musk, Trump, Joe Rogan, conspiracy theorists, partisan news organisations, and so on.

I mean, I have no faith in humans anymore, so I doubt it. I fully expect Bluesky to go the same way sooner or later. But it would be nice if we could go back to using social media for staying in touch with friends and family, and watching funny videos of cats.

Now I can’t help thinking about the Irving Berlin song, Blue Skies. :smile:
