Goodbye Twitter 👋

My third and final Twitter account was fully deleted today, after the thirty day deactivation window expired. I briefly considering turning it into a bot autotweeting the posts from this blog but at this stage I don’t want anything to do with this platform. By the time I was using @drmarkcarrigan and @theplatformuni I was doing it because I felt I had to but @mark_carrigan was undoubtedly a positive part of my identity for a long period of time. It’s sad to have watched Twitter be engineered into the obscenity it has now become 😢

As I argued here there’s no way the platform is coming back from its present condition. Why not recognise it now rather than cling on to the bitter end?
