I was a co-creator for a writing project earlier this year. My fellow creator is in Australia and I have no idea what’s going on with that side of Twitter, if the international branch there has been just as gutted as everywhere else.

Out of respect for my co-creator, I have not deleted my account, but if she deletes hers, I’m gone too. The loss of Twitter will be devastating to the creative arts, particularly those who relied heavy on self-promotion for their work.

I barely used Twitter at all, maybe posting a tweet once every few months. I used it mainly to keep up with some of my favorite authors.
