I'm an introvert. A hard introvert. I did the research to pick a Mastodon instance one time, when I bailed from Twitter. One time. The idea was I wouldn't ever have to go through that search for a snowball in hell again just to restart the slow, agonizing process of developing trust in a community.
I'm not sure I want to try. I'm not sure social media *can* be anything other than toxic, even in its best possible expression. I was already starting to doubt after the recent meta.
Asking for help.
If I managed somehow to leave a positive impression on any of you, and you went or are going somewhere you find worthwhile and stable, I'd appreciate it if you were to reach out.
I'm a lot more heartbroken than I would have expected to be. I can't start an instance search in this headspace.
But a person like me doesn't have many social lifelines, and I'm still learning to integrate in the furry community, so... if you know the landscape... please, toss me one.
I'm gonna go lie down and stop waiting for someone to tell me where to go like a depressed puppy.
Because I am a depressed puppy.
