- Description: Why I'm leaving Twitter for Threads after 14 Years and 6,574 posts.
- Author: Will Duderstadt

I spent 14 years on Twitter.

Since 2011, I tweeted 6,574 times and somehow received 20,000+ likes from friends and strangers. Maybe some of you? And yes, every single like or reply made me smile.

At my peak in 2017, I posted 2,014 times. Nearly six times a day!

But last year? Only eight. Total.

I didn’t run out of things to say. The platform changed. So did I.

My most popular post over there still feels fitting today:

> “The difference between a flower and a weed is judgment.”

So here I am. Same words. Different soil.

I’m moving slower now. Writing a little less. Meaning it a lot more.

I’ll be repurposing some old thoughts alongside new ones on Threads.

Not to relive them.

To see which ones still grow.

I hope you’ll join me.
