Deadmau5, the world's most opinionated DJ, has thrown his toys out of the pram, and quit Twitter - again.
The internet is now a much more boring place as there is nothing better than a good rant from Joel Zimmerman on Justin Bieber or DJ etiquette. Nevertheless he has again upped and left the social networking site, this being the second time he has announced his retirement from Twitter since November 2013.
Choosing to focus primarily on his new website Deadmau5 live, the DJ has also deleted his Soundcloud. The subscription-based site is now the only place that fans can receive direct updates from the DJ and stream tracks that were previously embedded on his Soundcloud.
"Just a head up, my Twitter account is gone. Lol. Oops. Good riddance noise machine :) I'll just keep all my online activity to this site now. :) Huzzah," he wrote in an email to subscribers.

While this is the second time that the DJ has quite Twitter, it does seem like this time he may actually manage to keep his promise. Last year he issued the following statement on his Tumblr explaining why he was quitting the site.
"I’m no longer going to be managing my own twitter account for “deadmau5”. I’m going to let management deal with that account. My reasons are my own, not because of something i said, not because of this hilarious I.R.A. vs “ira” craic, not because of lady gaga’s infinite legions of brain dead fans. but as i said… reasons of my own.
"Perhaps ill return to that in world as some reincarnation of sort, but for now, that’s off the table for me. I’ll continue to upload new music to my soundcloud, and the twitter account will point you in the right direction for the most recent happenings… but enough’s enough with living on twitter. Time to at least start by living in the studio making music without having to be force-fed stupid shit that annoys me, when all i’m trying to do is connect with fans.
"As for the fans, thanks for all your continued support and understanding of my decision to personally unplug myself from the very thing that’s making me upset. As i’ve mentioned, the account will remain alive, and *my team* (yeah i went there) will keep you just as updated on the ongoings with new music and shit that actually matters.
"To leave you with some good news, my new Tricaster arrives today. SO perhaps ill be streaming video with direct audio a lot more often. "thanks for having my back on this one.
-Joel"
