Going back to the former Twitter these days feels a little like going back to your old high school once you've graduated; everything is familiar but it's not your place anymore, and you don't necessarily want to spend more time there than you have to.

This is not to disparage people who are still using it as their primary social media outlet (I still post career news/updates there). But I am glad it's no longer the focus of my social media life. There are other places to be.

Like here! Hello!

TBH, when I joined Twitter, I felt like I had walked into somebody else's high school where all the cliques had their backs turned and I couldn't find a spot at a lunch table. It never got any better, so I left and have only been glad 😃
