A scaled way to step back from twitter.

Following a post on the topic from Nate Mattis, I realised that it’s not enough to just use twitter less. You kind of have to tell folks that you are using it less. The reason is that it’s important to how our decision effect the network, for the network to be able to sense what is happening (broadly). One way to do this is to use a bot to comment on one’s stance, so I am going to try with this service:

As an aside, Elon musk significantly helped my reading at the end of 2022, as I read twitter a lot less and read books a lot more.
