Someone trying to tempt me back to Twitter with this screenshot, saying “come on, won’t it be fun to respond to this?” Their idea of fun may differ from mine.

Lots of people have made fun of my mental illness and openness about it, most often on Twitter. But I’m okay. So far I haven’t looked at one of them and said “wow they seem really happy and successful, I wish I had their life.”

@Popehat I'm not saying this like my solution is your solution but I seriously consider blocking people like that. They stir shit up so you get angry and frustrated about it and then have to deal with it for their entertainment. It's a lousy way to be. You don't have to let everyone know every time someone is crappy towards them, especially when they have a large account and it happens constantly.
@AbandonedAmerica I don’t really need to block them because so far I haven’t met a single one on Mastodon or Bluesky.

@Popehat @AbandonedAmerica Hey I have nothing to add to the conversation other than you two are in my short list of people who make toots I enjoy. Keep tooting.

(Also I love that Serious Trouble Podcast so much even as a total legal layperson.)

@major @Popehat thank you 😊
