The news that Twitter agreed to be bought by a certain billionaire proves yet again that politics, power and (of course) money matter most didn't surprise me. It does make me uncomfortable to think of continuing to contribute content to it, however, so if/when things become toxic I will probably leave the platform.
Sadly there are only a few alternatives for users like me. Mastodon seems the safest, but I'm not particularly tech-savvy. Reddit has an enthusiastic quilting community, but they all seem to be far more skilled than me. I've avoided Instagram since it was acquired by Facebook (also not an option.)
Perhaps I'll just stay at my blog here. :) I will miss everyone in my circle on Twitter, though. They're lovely people who have truly inspired me over the last year.
