It's weird having a social media site that doesn't display follower counts, number of likes, or any of that other algorithm nonsense.

But you know what, I don't feel that same sense of dread here that I always feel when pulling up the bird app. Like, the dread was so pervasive and all-encompassing that I didn't even notice it until I came here and my mind was just... quiet.

Twitter has traumatized me so much that I started avoiding all forms of the internet almost entirely. I'm hoping that changes soon. Once I build up a sizeable audience off the site, I'm never touching that app again. Fuck Twitter.

I REEEEALLY like that you can turn off like and reblog notifications

At the end of the day, I care about TALKING TO PEOPLE. Getting notifications for likes just wastes my time by making me think I'm getting talked to. Or it makes me care about how much "engagement" my post is getting.

If I'm writing a shitpost about how much I love diapers, I don't need engagement metrics!

Oh god, that "making me care about engagement" is gonna take some time for me to unlearn. I've spent the better part of a decade (and a half if you count FA and dA in that) worrying about how many likes I'm getting.

And I don't know if I even CAN turn that part of my brain off since my job kinda depends on it
