I’m still struggling to unlearn the habits I’ve built up over 20+ years of being on social media. There’s that weird mix of performativity and anticipatory defensiveness that both serve to color and mute my voice and diminish my thoughts here. I’d like to revisit that. What are the things I’ve forgotten how to say on the internet?
What I'm feeling (besides a confirmation that the Twitterverse is mainly about premature speculation, misinformation, and BS) is not schadenfreude. It's also not the most supportive feeling for those with a sense of loss. That loss is real and I'll do my best to remember how I felt when Twitter was originally lost. Peace, everyone.

This site is a long-time labor of love for us. I hope to keep improving it for years to come. All my thanks to everyone who has been part of the project the past 5+ years.

I've been off Mastodon for months. Are scarabs the meme of the moment? Are meta-inside-joke-meta-meta things still all the rage? Why are people's handles all boxes?
