@DallasBarnett That's awesome!🤘

I was getting gas earlier today and one of the people beside me was blasting the song, "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" By Judas Priest. It was such a pleasant surprise. It's such rare occurrence nowadays for anyone to blast an '80s heavy metal song, let alone any song from the '80s. At any rate, it's such a great song. It's definitely worth sharing here. #CoSoMusic

In real life, I don't care much for crowded places and noise. It just makes me uncomfortable & I just want to withdraw to some quiet place where I can be by myself & just chill. Over here I don't have to worry about crowds and noise. It's a quiet place where I have time to gather my thoughts and articulate clearly what I want to say.
I don't mind going to a fan expo, but that's mostly because I like the cosplays & merch & maybe getting an autograph. But of course I need to unwind afterwards.

Over here, I never really encountered that issue. It just seems more engaging here overall. And best of all, I've never had to deal with any stupid bot accounts. Since I've rejoined this place, I've gotten pretty good responses. I didn't even have to use any hashtags.
Of course I'll never ask anyone to follow me here. I just like to chit-chat.
I'm actually very introverted in real life, and I'm a lot more at ease with written communication than I am with verbal communication.

Back when I used to use Twitter, I learned to stop caring about how many people followed me. I used that platform for like 5 years and I never got to 300 followers. The big problem that I had over there was the overall lack of interactions whenever I posted something. It also didn't help that I kept getting follows from all these stupid bot accounts. Anyhow, the only real action I got was when I commented on some else's posts or if I tagged somebody.

@mcfate I certainly wasn't kidding around when I deactivated my old account. I was just in a very poor mental state at the time. As a result, I didn't consider the consequences of my actions. I definitely wasn't thinking clearly and I acted in a rather hasty manner.

@GrumpyWolf I'm not concerned about how many people follow me. It's just that I enjoyed the interactions I had with some of people from when I had from my old account. I just wish I could remember their names.
I'm pretty used to not having many people follow me by now. It's the interactions that I enjoy. If they end up following me, it's just a bonus.

@AskTheDevil That's something I definitely took for granted when I deactivated my old account. I was too used to how things worked on other platforms.
At any rate, I'm glad that a place that actually takes people's data seriously exists. And of course it certainly helps that the CEO here is very good at what he does.

@crawancon I quit using Twitter quite a while ago and I don't plan on going back there.
Now that you mentioned it, creating a back up account sounds like a good idea.

But now I have returned and hopefully things will work out better this time around. At the moment, I feel I'm managing my emotions a little better than before. I'm still a work in progress, so I can't promise anything.
I guess I learned a hard lesson on account management. I'm not complaining, it's just something I'll have to get the hang of. I totally understand why that mechanism was put in place.
But I'm here now and I'd like to thank the people who gave me such a warm reception.

I had nearly 30 followers & lots of content on my old account. Now I have to start from scratch with a different username.
It might prove difficult to regain the followers I lost plus all the people I had followed. That's because I really don't remember who all followed me and I don't remember all the people I followed.
As I mentioned before, I wasn't feeling well mentally when I deactivated my old account. I won't mention the details, but let's just say I wasn't in a good frame of mind.

The unintended result of deactivating my old account is that there's no way I can ever retrieve it.
When I was on Twitter, I was given a 30 day buffer. If I reactivated my account within 30 days, I could just resume as normal.
Based on what I've read, retrieving my old account is impossible because of security reasons. That's something I never considered would happen. I guess I was just too used to how things worked on Twitter.

@sarcasmsign Thanks for the kind reception.

@mrk @th3j35t3r Thanks for the message. Hopefully things will work out better for me this time around.

@JGNWYRK Thanks for the warm welcome. Anyways, I had quite a bit of stuff on that account. Oh well, I guess I'll have to start from scratch than.

@kel @th3j35t3r Thanks for the kind words. I'll definitely keep that info you gave me in mind. It sucks that I have to start from scratch, but I think I'll manage.

@th3j35t3r Hello, I'm back again. I'm not sure if I could get my old account back or not. My username was Magnetron. I deleted that account because I wasn't in a very good mental state.
