Thank you! I don't want to make you feel sad. It just felt like, while participating in creator culture for almost 2 decades, I'd feel increasing pressure to perform---to the point i lost part of myself chasing the algorithm. The happy thing is Mastodon has been a lifeline-with a much healthier culture. I believe in Mastodon, and don't plan to leave anytime soon.
My goal is to get away from META products-I'm down to logging in only one day each week.
