adventures in self-moderation
In a nutshell: the concept that everything I say, even in direct communication, may feature in public aggregation, without context, has substantially chilled my speech.
That is something that _does not happen_ in privately maintained Masto instances (in fact, it’s one of the main benefits of the platform). But I constantly need to remind myself of that, and that it’s okay to have frivolous conversations again, without expecting it to train algorithms on my behavior.

@Goldkin I would posit that it's definitely a kind of person thing to do. ;)

Hi, I’m Goldkin, and I dramatically overthink this kind of thing when it’s okay to just be a person.
