Part of my current life's direction involves not bothering with the collaborative side to gather info from. Reverted back to relying on just myself and what I can find online/through reading these days. Really, everyone is busy and there is no room for demanding my words stop falling into a void.
Its not like I dont already see how collaborating in anything wastes time (for me), and gets a result I dont want. (1/2)
I know Mastodon isnt as simple to use as Twitter (decentralized networks probably arent), but I really would like to see more people using Mastodon. I used to think that Twitter was at least FAR better than FB. However, now? Not anymore
Outside of microblogging, I also looked into Mewe (more overall social network, than microblogging service).
Social shutdown (possible mh conversation)
Put some social media as inactive. I found that expressing things where I feel an emotion about it is getting me in trouble. This makes apologies hard (as I saw with yesterday). Even applying temp blocks and mutes of things on Telegram and other instant forms of communication. Dont need to dig myself deeper.
mental natterings
Well in trying to assure a friend something, i was damned from the start. This tells me that, generally speaking, Im just gonna have to suggest that people dont expect any words out of me.
And the perpetual "damned if you do and damned if you dont" scenario with communication strikes again. This is why I just...dont.
medical talk (vaccines)
I know my mom didn't care at the time (and probably still wouldnt), but this mistake is gonna cost me $600. Lack of access + being unable to gamble with The System/insurance makes for a discouraged Kat.
I dont even have the typical anti-vaxxer reasoning to explain why I need child hood vaccines as a 30+ year old woman.
I know it sucks having to go back and forth to the hospital, but believe me you'll be saving your kid so much trouble (and money)
I see this skewed perspective going back to the old addage that things were worse back then. People really act like furry was a wild wild west in the day where shitty people and behavior wasnt cared about.
Unfortunately people dont give credit to the fact the social medium has changed. Sadly I have to wait til a larger voice can correct these 17 degree POvs

I kind of find irony in Twitter getting accused of Shadow Banning one specific party (the Republicans). We all know Jack doesnt give a s**t about abusers and usually punishes the victims of hateful behaviour instead. So.... Republicans being targeted is just propostuous.
However... Maybe with the repubs bawwwing about such things, it will bring light to what we have known for mos.--the shadow banning system is meant to silence voices, marketed as "just procedure".
big newsflash there. lol
