Comment on Ask HN: Why are you on (or off) Twitter?

Comments

Off. I realized most of the people doing the cool things, were not the people tweeting about the cool things. And the people that were tweeting about the cool things were mostly just building a personal brand.

I miss Kelsey Hightower's cryptic "This is still too much work" tweets, and Scott Hanselman's escapades, but I do not miss the flaming and the virtue signaling and the constant doom notifications.

Sometimes I'm concerned I'm missing what "everybody" (my twitter echochamber) is working on, or learning about, but I've kind of gotten to the point where I don't care.
