I appreciate that. While it does suck, there was life before Twitter, so I’ve reverted back to that. The only alternative is to follow artists on Facebook or Insta, but honestly fuck those apps just as much. I do pay/use Apple Music so I do still get notified when any of my following artist release a new album/EP, so in the grand scheme of things, there’s not too much of a change I suppose. What is lost though, is the community aspect of sharing show photos or tour experiences or connecting with other like-minded fans. But I’d rather lose all of that than continue to support Twitter, so even tho it’s a loss, just out of spite for brain-dead billionaires it kind of feels like a win too.
That’s an incredibly moral stand to take online. Losing things of (personal) value to yourself. Have some internet applause from me. Music and musicians will always find a way to connect people so eventually we’ll all be OK again.
