It's so weird seeing people on the bird app complain about #CoSo
"I'm a political activist, they made it clear politics aren't welcome" liar
"You can't DM unless you're a pro member!" And?
"I'm a social media advertiser to what good does crowd-funded social media do me?"
In other words: I'm selfish and want all the attention and the freedom to be an asshole with no repercussions.
I just remind myself these people are addicted to drama and aren't trying to build relationships or community.
@Devlyn_Angel it's the comfy couch of social media ❤️
@Devlyn_Angel and I'm so thrilled you love it here too. It's pulled me outta that dark, agitated, angry mindset I was stuck in at the other place.
@M00dyBlue right? My overall attitude is better.
It feels gross to go back to The bird site, but I'm trying to get good people over here
@Devlyn_Angel same for me! Even my son noticed my improved mood. I'm trying to get good people to come here and get outta that infinite hate cycle there. You aren't going to "win" all it does is mess with your head there. I feel like I need hand sanitizer for my brain after I go there. And you nailed it, people don't want to rebuild their following, cuz popularity matters more to them. Just another form of power.
@M00dyBlue exactly!! I didn't notice it as much until lately, but now that I've been here, it is an infinite hate cycle. Such a great phrase....
@M00dyBlue thank you! I love this place
