New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.

Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.

It will take some work.

If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.

Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

Just deleted my (fake) Facebook account. I’m sad to do it as I had a lot of fun in various retrocomputing groups, but enough is enough. Fuck them. https://deletefacebook.com

What I find fascinating is that they're heading full-on into Brexit with no signs of the US (you know the country with the fascist "America First" government) wanting to do a free trade agreement with the UK. (In fascism, autarky and protectionism is the go-to economic doctrine.)
