I hadn’t used my twitter account in over a year, but today finally deleted all my posts and disabled the account.

I had it for 16 years and thought it’d feel different, but I’ve been so far away from it now I really had no emotions to shutting it down. It was easy, and now I have no ties to that garbage any more.

It's hard to feel any emotions while severing such impersonal relationships. I would advise you to do it whenever you feel like it's the correct thing to do. Go where the users shine, the memes flow and the owners aren't dipshit billionaires who mine your data, restrict the free internet and pollute your online experiences with conspiratorial nazi bullshit. Be a digital nomad.
