Ugh it’s so hard when a platform you once loved turns nasty and you can’t recognize what you used to love about it. I’m starting to feel similarly about Instagram and am close to a break up myself. Thanks for sharing!
I feel you with Instagram too, I did a big clean up recently, removed followers who I didn't know (considering when i was younger all i wanted was a million followers) unfollowed accounts that didn't spark joy. It did help! But its also okay to breakup and move on
Your post was deeper than I imagined as I never evaluated my relationship with Twitter. But first, is that I never managed to call it X. I just can’t phantom saying I am on an X website?! I also made friendships in the past 15 years and I don’t recognise the app any longer. So much advertisement (will Substack feel like that too in a few months or years?) and people are so so so so so mad all the time. I need peace, I need low maintenance, I need connection. I don’t know where to find it here, but please receive my virtual hug.
I forget daily its called X - hence why I named this post twitter haha. I do hope Substack stays our happy litter secret. I am sending a big virtual hug back
