Earlier today as I was freezing my butt off doing charity, it seems that Joel has finally quit Twitter. I wasn’t able to see the Tweets leading up to his departure from Twitter, but there is only one tweet available currently and it leads to his Tumblr that states:
twitter and the like.
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.

I don’t doubt that there is anything wrong, but he does give us hope with more live streams as well as more music posted to his SoundCloud. We hope for the best with Joel and hope he has less stress without Twitter in his life now that his team is handling it.
Apparently there are rumors that he was suspended from Twitter and such, but I believe that to be nonsense. Who knows? What do you think?
Edit: I should have gone here first, but I forgot. Joel’s mom said it absolutely best in these few tweets.
@deadmau5 Do what you gotta do Joel. It's has to be hard not to be affected by all the jibberjabber. So if it makes you hateful, kill it.

Joel shut his twitter down because it was too distracting.
If he needs some shut up time leave him to it.
Go listen to 7.

[…] to bring his producing and DJ game to the next generation level. He did tweet that it was custom (but I can’t source it). That said, he recently posted a few pictures and videos on Instagram that give you a better look […]
