Twitter is becoming a platform which is increasingly unsafe.

Scams and phishing are on the rise, not to mention the rampant abuse, and Twitter are doing literally nothing to fix or even help with this.

Push notifications have been instant indicators of incoming waves of abuse which both myself, and others I know, have been able to use to lock down and avoid most of it. Now that’s just gone unless you use Twitter’s own apps, which are, frankly, awful, exclusively.

There’s a reason I have something like thirty thousand people blocked on here.

And now I guess the solution is just going to be “go private permanently,” which means the social aspect of Twitter is almost entirely moot.
