Quiet on the socials

I'll admit I've been mum on the socials for a good while now, for probably obvious reasons. One of them having been mentioned here (trying to escape passive scrollrage), but I just find it exhausting recently. Twitter (not calling it that stupid name he stole from the LA band) is a shitshow these days and feels like a cross between your local paper's angry letters to the editor and a spam-throttled BBS on its final death throes. I mean yeah, I could probably do a major purge/block/mute but it's more than that. It's just kind of sad to see how far it's fallen in such a short time.

I don't have much of a problem with Facebook these days -- it's actually kind of fascinating how the terribleness of FB migrated to the birdsite and FB calmed itself right down to normalcy. BlueSky is much better [NOTE: I have a fistful of invites if anyone needs one!] but is still buggy in that not-quite-chronological-but-close way that makes me twitch and not everyone I know is on there.

I'm mostly on Discord with my close circle of friends these days, and doing most of my posting here and on my two WP blogs. 

Still, I suppose I could say I remain exhausted of Constantly Being Plugged In. Call it age, or having fewer spoons, or just tiring of the drama, I've needed to focus on myself instead of Every Single Local/World Event Every Single Day. I search for ways to process it at my own speed instead of at everyone else's.

But yeah, I'm still there, I've just been super passive and quiet about it.
