Blow: Seven months on a strict Twitter diet

Seven months ago, with the first rumblings that Elon Musk might buy Twitter, I made the decision to pull back from the site and use it only to alert people to things like the publication of my column or my television appearances. I stopped checking every day. I stopped publishing original thoughts there. I stopped responding to other accounts. Twitter went from an integral part of my life to a tool I hardly used. Now that Twitter is teetering, it seems worthwhile to let my readers know what the experience of walking away has been like. Cutting back on Twitter changed my life … for the better.
