my X/twitter export finished today! i’m not going to fully delete my profile, because i don’t want someone to grab my username and pretend to be me. but i did finally delete all my posts. good fucking riddance to that place.

it’s honestly so wild to me that people will stay on X or Threads instead of trying out Bluesky or Mastodon because they get more “engagement” on Threads. social media algorithms have poisoned our brains into thinking we have freedom of reach and that our dumb shitposts should be shown to EVERYONE

im eating some garlic herb fries and they taste suspiciously like weed. it would be weird for a line cook to waste perfectly good weed on some stranger, so i know i’m just being paranoid. but… am i being paranoid because… i’m high?

all this talk about which social network has the juice. but can we at least all agree that The Great British Bake Off no longer has the juice? even with Matt Lucas gone, it’s pretty much just The Paul Hollywood Show now

This is a great article about where newer social media networks like Bluesky and Threads fit into the existing ecosystem and it honestly mirrors a lot of how I feel about the current state of things, too. I still like Mastodon for a niche kind of community, and I’m committed to federating my posts there, but Bluesky really has become the place that feels like it “has the juice”.
