Bluesky is a huge improvement over twitter
But it's engagement loop is still fundamentally the same
Which is actually good for putting stray thoughts or creations out into the world! Especially having a following of fans of that!
But somewhere for deep introspection or connection it is not
Tumblr almost succeeds, but constantly shoots itself in the foot due to its moderation, bot and management problems (not to mention all the terfs)
Masto just feels like the whole Twitter/Bluesky thing but with in-groups (the vibes are very high school)
I had already cut down my social media usage and reclaimed a lot of my pricacy by moving deep meaningful things to CoHost
But now with that shutting down in a few days, I'm likely just going to be far less present on social media going forwards
I'll still be plenty social in my usual places like picarto streams and to a much lesser extent group chats, but I think only a little of the feed style socials is good for me
