Don't get me wrong, I'm familiar-ish with network effects and how that affects people's choices as to where they go for social media. Still... it's been at least nine years since the first exodii from compromised platforms began. Since people found out about Cambridge Analytica. We had a pandemic since then which further reinforced people's learnings about how social media does and doesn't work.

It's like falling asleep on a couch in a college student union building: the activity and chatter around me is soothing. Everything is alright in the area around me.

Trying to follow everyone I can that represents good faith expertise. They're easier to find now since there are a lot more of them... but there are also a lot more of them.

I mean it's a good problem to have.

Republicans stood up more than I thought they would.

Expecting two times is not a high bar, I know
