while I can joke about being able to post more here and there and all that I will admit I am hit with a bit of a sadness realizing though how many people like, I'm probably gonna lose contact with? there's no way everyone is going to migrate consistently, if at all, and idk. Feel bad for not trying to talk to more people that were mutuals that I thought were cool. I never really got the hang of using twitter to like, push things forward I worked on myself like a lot of friends but it was a primary social experience for me and I'm a dummy that's gonna just feel a bit bad about losing contact with people
just to add on, i've dealt with the ephemerality of online before. i don't talk to any friends from Gaia anymore. or any friends from Livejournal, or Dreamwidth. But I also still regularly think about those friends and am like 'would it be weird if I looked them up wherever and tried talking to them again? Would we even like each other any more? would they think I'm weird for how different I am now?'
online is inherently ephemeral, sites are going to die even in the web 2.0 era. people will disappear. never really feels good though even knowing that and being prepped for it, especially as I get older and see so many people and things I enjoy disappear.
