Sadly after many many years of really enjoying twitter, it is really not serving it’s purpose and I’ve decided to deactivate my account in the interests of changing my focus and mindset. I have made a bunch of fantastic friends there and learnt loads from a variety of perspectives. I hope that my contributions have been helpful to others and that you understand why I am doing this. Personally being able to subscribe to some great podcasts, substack writers and - of course - YouTube is likely enough as a set of sources.
The exit of 3rd party apps like tweetbot and new dominance of the algorithmic timeline has genuinely spoilt things for me - yes I’ve stumbled across a handful of lovely people but I’ve also been drawn into seeing frankly awful stuff that is just bad for the soul. I might well return to this or some other network at some point but for now it’s really important that I develop some better habits. If you are some one who doesn’t have contact with me outside of this network: my website is saamvisual.com and my email is saamvisual at gmail.com. I can easily be found on YouTube and Vimeo as well.
