@JonKramer@qoto.org @BenWest@denizens.social @Mauigirl52@masto.ai @mtsw@mastodon.social agreed. Compared to the 5 & 6 digit follower folks, I was, by intent (for a decade avoided hashtags), v small fry on the birdshite. But did like my wee community. Perhaps my (and others) issue is completely severing ties? Struggled similarly w FB. Family on 3 continents. So even though can't bear/don't engage w the 'meta' feed of adverts no friends, still can't quite delete.... but middle age making me more bolshy... maybe 2023 my year for deleting!?

@JonKramer@qoto.org @BenWest@denizens.social @Mauigirl52@masto.ai @mtsw@mastodon.social Fair point! Definitely not on those!!!

@BenWest@denizens.social @JonKramer@qoto.org @Mauigirl52@masto.ai @mtsw@mastodon.social possibly naive question (but here goes) I had read to lock down, not to delete account for fear of one's handle being impersonated/taken over? While I have wanted to depart 'tout suite' for some months, I still have overlapping professional & personal networks there. Yet I am driven mad by Musk's Trump-like domination of the news cycle & his taunting 'more users than ever' claims... its a difficult space to navigate, even for early tech adopters Thoughts?
