The shenanigans over at Xitter and consequent migration over to BlueSky have left me feeling really quite discombobulated.

Twitter was the SM platform I got on with the best. I made lots of friends there, none of whom I knew IRL. Now they are scattered to the wind - BlueSky is much harder to connect on. This place (Masto) is next to impossible too.

SM is all about content and volume. It's not great for quiet thinky people. :(

It feels like it was a really stupid thing to do now, moving into the middle of nowhere, where I didn't know anyone.

I tried. I joined clubs and choirs. But never really made any connection. Eventually got ostracised and retreated back to the home and online. I don't now go out at all. I don't see any others outside the house, and haven't done so for nearly 10 years now.

SM was a lifeline. But it looks like that is going too now.
