Lol, I joined Twitter around 2013 because it seemed like everyone in tech was there and it'd be a good way to keep up.

Then I saw cross talk between radical Left Twitter and people I followed in tech. Uh oh. I got into exactly one political argument and realised that with my ADHD impulse control, my career, and my belief that homo sapiens is sexually dimorphic, I should not be on that site of I valued eating.

I deleted the account. Now I read Twitter, but I will not log in. Ever. I also deleted my Facebook account around that time.

Nowadays, I only use my real identity with people I know in private groups on self hosted servers. Even commenting here with a pseudonym gives me pause; every opinionated post is a liability if you get doxxed.
