Deleted Twitter, Feels Good!
Yes yes, had to delete my account on that utter dog shit site Twitter and sunset my social media profiles.
They are a time and energy black hole, sucking the life out so I just had to go cold turkey and delete those mofos.
Back when I first started making music, I just had a soundcloud and YouTube page, then it grew to adding social media as that seemed to be the norm.
With hardly any feedback on there and these places being a toxic cesspit of people who think their opinions matter, it was time to leave.
So I will just be sticking with posting music on Hive and releasing music through our label. I will pursue some sync licensing opportunities as well, where you can submit music to various projects that people require tunes for.
As my catalogue grows, will have more to offer.
Here's to sunsetting the shit:

I understand your point man, it can really be very disheartening to put in effort in those social media platforms and not receive good response from people. Sometimes people intentionally want to punish your emotions. It is good to stay away from those at times but nevertheless they also help to build one up, eventhough it takes a lot of time
Thanks man. From a mental health and time wasting perspective, it feels a lot better without having to worry about being on Twitter now. I'll just keep posting music here and on the streaming sites and do my thing - hobbies are meant to be fun so I'm removing the things that make it less so :)
You are very right man. Wish u a great Sunday
That's great man, congrats! I deleted mine as well last year at some point, maybe it was the year before lol. It is indeed an absolute time suck and doesn't bring any benefit to us.
Lol, thanks mate - well done to you too. Life expectancy probably increased for both of us now we've deleted that trash!
Wow. I’m on the brink of pressing the delete button too. The people who matter have ways of contacting me and I prefer spending time here on this platform. It’s more worthwhile and I feel that time is well spent here.
Likewise man, I'd just delete it. I was umming and erring a couple of years ago but should have just done it and saved myself a couple more years of strife.
Me too 😂
Enjoy the freedom lol!
Still use Twitter, could not decide to move away entirely yet :-)
You're a braver man than me Uwe!
no i am not :-)
for some reason, the only apps I'd delete would be instagram. Although when I travel I sort of need them to check on reviews and such :D often it's shows if the place is active or not and if it actually is good. As for twitter, that's where I get info about earthquakes xDD
I think I had Instagram by virtue of having a FB account but I deleted my FB a couple of years ago. That felt pretty good as well deleting that :D If you get some use out of Twitter, carry on :))
Hive is technically a social XD
Do you remember when it was common and normal and expected to have an account on everything to reach as big an audience as possible? Yeh it's much easier not to and I think the energy is infinitely better spent where you're getting good engagement wherever that may be anyway XD
though having said that I preference places like here anyway because I'm really not sure about centralised social media companies anymore
Glad you feel better for weeding out things you don't need :)
Thanks man!
Aha, good point, although I prefer the longer form of posting, has a different dynamic to it I think!
Yes I remember that! Basically have to join this and join that to pick up maybe 1 extra play on your projects... I agree with you there, focusing the energy on the fun places and I seem to get the best engagement here anyway!
I don't blame you brother.
I noticed our DM had disappeared then i saw you'd deleted the account and i thought... he's having a digital detox... that's probably a good idea i might jump on myself.
Just to follow up on that poetry i sent you. If anything comes of it using it for samples or anything similar, just contact me on here or discord.
I want nothing from you m8. As far as I'm concerned if even a few lines of that poem were used on a music track it would be amazing exposure for me, and a gr8 collab.
If it doesn't happen no worries. It's all good👍🙂
P.s. Enjoy the silence of no soc media. Last time i did that (fckd off Facebook and twitter) i took up meditation for a year and ended up much better off for it 🧘♂️🌿
A much needed one man, already felt more productive and in fact...
I have been on this - I sent you a Telegram message but I think I remember you saying you're off that as well - we'll find a way - I think I have a Discord account floating around somewhere - I am never on it either lol!
Will send you over a rough draft, think you're gonna love the way this is going :)
I've got telegram, i just hardly ever fire it up. When i boot up my desktop later I'll have a look.
I'm excited to hear what you've done with it m8 🙂👍
I actually sent it to your Discord as I wasn't sure if you were on Telegram still :)
No worries m8. I'm actually sat in the Garage atm waiting for my 'bought my 2nd hand car from my Mechanic friend' free service 😂 he's taking his sweet time fixing 2 pretty minor issues... but it's free so i shouldn't complain 🤣
Anyway, haven't got discord on my phone anymore so I'll check it out when i get home. Something to look forward to 👍
We'll catch up on Discord!
Hope your mate managed to solve those issues for you with the car!
Car is all fixed now. I responded (maybe over-responded 😂) on discord.
I liked what i heard 🎧
