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.
@Clavius_42 You will find CoSo is very different. We all do our part to make it that way. Welcome
@gemswinc I've been here for a few years lol 😅 Just posted about it.
@Clavius_42 Oh! Never saw you before. 👋
@gemswinc I mostly sit in corner, slowly sipping my pint. 😄
@Clavius_42 Ah, that explains it 🍺
It's meaningful to have you here in all your genuineness all the same. ^_^
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.
@Clavius_42
Thank you for understanding why most of us are here and all the ways CoSo is such a major improvement over all the others
Thank you for being one of the good guys and we're happy you stay here
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. 🖖
