   I've been online for decades. I've used many services. I've seen them come and go.

   Know this, even if you find a nice area of the internet for yourself, I guarantee it will not last. Nothing lasts forever.

     @jon @jnv @beardedtechguy I do miss when social media was about sharing what you're doing and the things you're passionate about, rather than constant anger and toxicity.

     But what you're observing about the state of social media now is accurate. However, I would suggest that we can still have fun participating online -- that just might need to happen in much smaller, insulated spaces.

     This resonates. I’m not at the point you are yet, but that’s partially because of the things I choose not to post about and the conversations I avoid.
