I'm going to stop using [[https://twitter.com][Twitter]].

------------------

Not forever. Just for the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent][Lent]].

I will [[id:2017-01-31-addicted-to-phone][really miss reading my Twitter stream]] and tweeting things that
are in my head. That's for sure. I spend (too) much time on Twitter
these days. And that's the reason why I do have to do this. A reality
check, so to say.

This is not a particular new idea. Of course, there is even a hash-tag
for it: [[https://twitter.com/search?q=%23twitterlent][#TwitterLent]]. Quitting Twitter for the Lent is [[https://www.openbible.info/labs/lent-tracker/2016][quite popular]]
these days.

I'm going to [[https://gist.github.com/djaiss/85a0ada83e6bca68e41e][block Twitter.com on my hosts]], remove the Twitter app
from my phone, change my Twitter bio text, and start to use my blog
more often.

My long-term plan is to replace Twitter using my Blog (and [[id:2017-01-03-how-to-use-this-blog][RSS/Atom]])
anyhow. So if you want to follow me, please use a decent RSS/Atom
aggregator that my precious thoughts might enlighten your day. ;-)
