Social media is different things for different people.

Some may believe their business and/or career necessitates a presence on a variety of platforms for promotional purposes. It's at least a stance I can entertain.

Fortunately for me, I'm not looking for anything more than a small piece of the internet to civilly interact with other curious and sociable people. I don't need what's trending, just what's healthy and positive.
