@stuartmarks @jerrykuch oh dang it's (maybe) jerry, hi jerry

@nathan @jerrykuch Yeah it’s Jerry all right. I managed to convince him to create an account here but I don’t know how often he checks it.

@stuartmarks @nathan Apologies! Since the troubles at the former bird site, I've been much less active online and generally somewhat desocialized...

@jerrykuch @stuartmarks not a problem, man, I've been the same way too, mostly off the wider internet (and otherwise going feral irl)

@nathan @jerrykuch Yeah. It’s sad but the days when “everybody” was on Twitter are over. I still look there occasionally but the amount of noise I see there has helped me get over the loss I felt after leaving. Personally I’ve found a decent crowd of people here I can actually chat with, and there’s a lot of news/politics/analysis over on Bluesky.

@stuartmarks @nathan I'm going to start trying to keep a tab open on this site. The toxic miasma at the Other Place is now at the point that it feels like being in a Cronenberg movie about rubbernecking car wrecks.
