MattIn the same boat as a lot of people right now, looking inward and feeling a little silly about where I sit on social media use.
Obviously, I use it a lot, and yeah it was mostly Twitter. But that's because most of the people I know use it, and those are the people I want to check up on. The funny, profound, interesting and beautiful people I've spent years finding and connecting with. I love what the Fediverse is, but none of my people are interested in Fedi at all. That puts me between a rock (staying on Twitter, engaging with more hateful content, drowning in ads, victim to the horrible never-ending revolving onslaught of bullshit,) and a hard place, (readjusting to a new social media platform.)
I'm happy with Calckey, but a lot of what drew me in is just out of reach. I'm still waiting for post migration, even though I know its coming, I want to hold onto the memories from my old mastodon posts and especially my tweets over the years. And as much as I understand the need to defederate with new platforms like Threads, that drives even more crap between me and the people I want to be connected to. That said, I saw this little post the other day and I'm still coming to terms with how it makes me feel.
It totally applies to this. I might be closing myself off to newer, better things by clinging to the past and trying to dredge up the things I remember fondly. It's just a hard pill to swallow, for me anyways.
