The final straw

I deleted Twitter from my phone earlier.

Twitter’s power consumption that was the final straw; it being the app that seems to guzzle as much of the phone’s pretty lame battery life at the slightest opportunity.

I have been using Twitter less and less as the years have rolled on. The level of angst and frustration that is broadcasted using that app has led it to become a net loss in terms of value and entertainment vs tedium and depression.

Sure I could devote time to pruning and managing who I follow and so on. But it’s just simpler to remove it from my phone.

I will still be occasionally reading Tweets and posting them from my computer. But that will be even less engagement than before.

The moment I finally deleted the app, I felt great.

Eliminating a source of negativity has never been so easy.
