   Hi, I am #NewHere and still finding my way around, but so far I love this low key, less performative, less censored space. I am a #Permaculture practitioner, ex-academic and introvert. I am deeply concerned about the #MetaCrisis but see it as a possible window into a new way of thinking and living as if we are really, actually part of nature. Right now I am exploring my possible role in the coming transition.

     @sarajhammer Less performative yes - I find this space much more authentic. But low-key didn't last long for me (in a good way). It was relatively quiet and low-key for a little while, while I found follows and got to know people. Now it's about as stimulating as I can stand!

     @lindawoodrow indeed! I am beginning to see your point. Lots of amazing people, stories and info here. I spend more time here than on FB these days. I do notice though that FB seems to promote more #DoomScrolling than here, but perhaps that is just me, or is it by design?

     @sarajhammer I got to the point of enough follows who post enough to lure me into doom scrolling, so I started using lists. Whenever I find myself boosting or favoriting someone a lot, I add them to a "besties" list. The scroll though the besties is a lot shorter.

     @lindawoodrow thanks for these useful tips. I really appreciate it. I shall look into the besties option once I get too scroll-y.
