Don't click random links asking about profile pictures in Skype - if you end up with a zipfile, you can be sure that the best course of action is to simply delete it.

Goodbye hellsite, I'll miss you

I have indeed decided to leave Twitter for the time being. It's going in a direction I can't say I'm massively enthused about, and Mastodon seems like the better alternative for the time being.
