Athens Grease: like, people can use social media for whatever purpose they choose — I’m not going to tell people what to post about — but I fail to see how working yourself up to the point of having a stroke every single day is productive, either for you personally or for achieving your political goals

this isn’t meant to be a subtweet or anything, but it is truly sad how many of my Twitter mutuals (who I otherwise like) I see slowly mentally deteriorating over politics every single day on there. I wonder if it would be rude of me to DM them to plead with them to log off and go for a walk

This is the primary reason I quit twitter. I needed an intervention.

yeah, it just seemed like every single day on there was so heated, even if you were like “I made this steak for dinner tonight and it tasted good.” just not worth posting over there at all anymore imo

I needed an intervention before Elon took over. He made it easy for me to quit.

And bluesky. It's Twitter methadone

exact same for me. it had stopped being fun well before then, but him taking over made a good excuse to leave altogether

For me, it was the rate limit when he downgraded the Amazon hosting package on 7/1. Me: *opens bird site* 🦤: RATE LIMIT EXCEEDED Me: to BlueSky we go!

On the other hand, some things will never change

Manscaped makes the "Weedwhacker" for a reason.

what in god's name

Right? She worked primarily in Tanzania.

He doesn’t live here anymore

College football fandom is stroke-triggering enough.

As someone who was been in this field for ten years, I would like I say I agree with you eve one further and say I don't understand why some people are posting at all. Or why they choose some sites purely based on convenience or emotion. It feels like a trap.
