I nuked all my socials except two. Put BlueSky to sleep for now while I contemplate.
15+ years, pouring heart and soul at times, for the odd exchange, like, repost. I've changed: social media has changed.
I didn't announce my departure; those thousands of people are only interested in the next thing deemed popular by MSM and their favourite celebs.
I won't be coerced into keeping tanking ad infested accounts alive out of fear of losing connections who never wanted to interact beyond them.
I know I've been here a few years now, mostly lurk-and-like but still pay for pro. Mainly it's because I'm introverted, grumpy, and life's been uneventful for me recently; daily grindosaurus.
I happily still pay pro because among other things I believe in the foundations; no other platform protects its users better.
You get out what you put in. My mind is free from the algorithm and the need for micro endorphin hits - I don't need to interact if I've nothing meaningful.
Have a great day. 🖖
I happen to believe that the only thing that separated us from the animals is the Oxford comma, the semi-colon, and two spaces after a period.
I’m glad to meet you.
@QueenOfEverything Could not have put it better. I'll choose taking as long as it takes to hit within a character limit than ever put a single space after a full stop, period.

Exactly, that's why the & was created so we could cut down 2 letters in posts.
