It makes me sad to see so many people saying “I’m not anyone” when introducing themselves on social media. Um, yeah, you are someone. You are you and everyone in the world has something to say and often a lot more people are interested than you may think. Unfortunately I think a lot of peoples thinking has been trained that unless you have lots of followers / you’re famous / you post controversial opinions then you’re not worthy of being heard. You are.
@dropbear yep I feel this. 11 years on Twitter, don’t think I ever missed a day, and - other than replies - I think I would have tweeted fewer than 20 times. Professional lurker. Don’t really know how I managed to get so stifled.
@blandtastic hopefully you will feel more free to express yourself here 🙂
@dropbear thanks, me too! So far so good. Eg, I never used my name or anything resembling my actual pic on the birdsite. Changing it up for the fediverse.
