Since Twitter has a stinky musky odor I really am not here too much and it feels sad and wrong to the point I actually just stick with Facebook which is of itself bizarre. But the fam seems more intact. Adding another walled garden is really too exhausting. How do folks manage?

I only ever dipped in when someone I follow posts, so little change for me other than some folks are quieter. Same with LinkedIn, which has been building up for a while now and is now a little busier.

LinkedIn overwhelms me and I started early on of course with various social media platforms at one time it became so overwhelming I limited myself to two well I do have a mastodon accounts formed during the diaspora which I've used exactly never.

+ Limit time + stick with facts as much as possible + 'steel-man' helps with empathy (I'll even argue 'against' someone who is 'on my side' if I think 'they' have good points we should listen to)

The follows I have chosen have remained in my feed, so I am still getting most of the info and interaction I expect. While he was intruding too often into my feed, I screenshot and blocked ads adjacent to his screeds. After his epic downvote, I've see less of both him and ads.

So how did you get all that without verification do you have to pay an extra extra fee or just sublimate your words and feelings

It takes so much time and so much work maybe Mr musk can rehire everyone he's fired but I doubt that would happen maybe we should make him do it? Yeah I like that idea what do you think?

you get to decide how odious is no longer worth the benefit for you. i'm mostly federated these days, it's not the same vibe but it has nice parts. depends (like all social) who you follow.

I pretty much moved to the hairy elephant site because the community there reminds me of early days of IRC.
