@ayachan@octodon.social enh... I've left so many media platforms, either proactively jumping ship ahead of the curve (birdsite) or lingering far past the departure of everybody I cared about (LiveJournal) or just... wandering away (UseNet). every move means losing some contacts; but it also means finding more contacts, meeting new people, building new connections. some I keep, some I run into again after losing track, some just vanish into the aether.
@ayachan@octodon.social but it's like moving away from where you've lived for years, or changing jobs or schools or social clubs. it's just part of life.
I'd like to see more people move away from birdsite and bookface for ethical/legal/political/economic/psychological reasons. there's solid evidence that both those sites cause measurable emotional damage in heavy users. but, yeah... it ain't easy, and it ain't always *possible*. which I also dislike very much. :|
