I am told that the headlines really undersell how rad my tattoo is. I agree.

I'm happy to say I have a much better relationship towards online spaces nowadays. I have a lot of good people in my life, just on Discord instead - which has it's own problems - but cultivating more personal connections there has worked for me, been fulfilling.

I'm sure nothing I have to say about it is new, fresh, unique or the like. But it is pretty vindicating, seeing just how bad it's gotten, just what kind of crowd an emphasis on those things has garnered for the platform, having left it so early in advance over those issues.

And then, of course, it became a platform that even further emphasized those toxic traits - the drive to treat one's online presence as a brand to be maintained, to hunt out engagement to spread your popularity - the veil dropped real fast after the whole Blue thing.

I feel like ultimately I made the right call, both for myself, and given how that site's gone, it was something of an apollo's dodgeball situation, too. I externalized a lot of my frustration by pointing out how metrics and analytics reinforce some really insidious habits.

I went nuclear with my twitter account long before Elon decided to Musk the place up - mostly a decision mantled in some unhealthy use/attachment patterns I had for the site. Things that made me feel like my relationships there were hollow, empty.

Just posted something on twitter for the first time in literal years, and it's a thing pointing people here and to my discord. I guess I'm actually going to try to use this, now, instead of sitting on it.
