I don’t want to start calling Twitter “X”…

…but I also don’t feel like dirtying the memory of Twitter by using her name for whatever she has become. I might be leaving her, but is there a decent alternative?

It’s me baby, not you-I swear.

I do remember something happening, in terms of creating an alternative gathering place for free and sometimes regrettable speech. Just before or around the time of the changeover from what was (Twitter) to what has become (X). And now I’m looking for options, another platform or forum. I’m doing a Friday-to Friday cleanse, so next Saturday I’ll probably open it up and do what I can to filter out the undesirable, maybe make a decision.

Will this bit of writing auto post to X the way it did Twitter?

Having a “meeting place” would be nice, because teaching has become more and more dystopian (right along with the rest of the world).

Send me a message if you have ideas. I just got a username on Mastadon but I’ll be waiting til tomorrow to look closer.
