opened mastodon to a timeline entirely composed of content warnings over completely benign things and just. man. i dont think i can do it over there
having a place to write big low-stakes posts for a small but comfortable audience was something i was getting used to so it kinda fuckin sucks to lose that now. my masto instance has functionally unlimited characters but anything you write on there is still going to be presented in the context of a twitter-esque timeline not built to accommodate lots of text. plus there's no fuckin formatting, and no readmores which for me are a huge deal because i can give enough of a slice at the start for somebody to decide whether they're interested, or add post-scripts as desired
i guess if i want to maintain a longform Posting space in my life at this point the only real option is tumblr, but god, i really don't want to go on tumblr again. it is a site culture i'm just not interested in learning and immersing myself in. or starting "a blog" but i feel like there is an expected standard of quality with "blogging" over "posting," because a "blog" is something somebody chooses to visit and read in particular and a "post" is something that gets blasted into somebody's face because the went to your page and opened the "yes please blast me whenever" valve
anyway yeah! idunno! sucks! every other online space is a downgrade and i wish i could just willingly abandon social media entirely but i am still afraid of the very legitimate possibility that if i stop posting anywhere i will simply vanish and never talk to anyone on the internet again
i'll try to get a more succinct and definitive contact info post up soon but i guess for now @mira@dragon.style is... extant. i have a public twitter but i do not use it anymore and my private twitter does contain Horny so i'll probably share it on my AD page instead. i have been utterly obstinate in my desire not to make a bluesky but i guess we'll see if that resolve holds out
