Leaving
I decided to leave Twitter for good, delete my account, not look back, and not worry about the three-letter handle I have had since 2007.
The thing I worry about is some of the people I follow not having outlets aside from Twitter that I can follow them on. I'm compiling this list to help me migrate (some personal people I follow elided below, as well as accounts that never post, or I am OK with not following elsewhere):

I'm not saying this is everyone you should follow, or that all the alternatives are correct and complete.
And I'll be @csm831@mastodon.social for now.
