Hi Zagorath. I’m doing fine, the usual etc. I do hope that you’re OK too. I’m still around and still reading occasionally, I didn’t leave for mental health reasons or anything like that, I left because I was getting downvoted for opinions about my employment/passion and I figured “fuck everyone then” because while I understand the downvotes don’t mean much, they mean that my opinion wasn’t required or needed in the conversation. Funnily enough, it was Baku that pushed me over the edge and I see that they’re gone too. Yeesh.
I hope you enjoyed the election. Maybe not who won but your work with it. Keep up with writing your opinions, they’re worth reading.
I can’t even talk politics now, for some reason half the people I work with are more interested in conservative American politics and that is not in my wheelhouse.
As for Mastodon, no, I don’t enjoy it in the traditional sense. I use it for a fairly decent environmental etc. news feed (hashtags mostly) which has low angst, but, unfortunately there is little to no discussion of the topic at hand. I can’t really get into the whole broadcasting style. I miss forums too much it seems but the world has moved on. People are happy with the privacy-stealing genocide platforms and I’m not going there!
Good luck.
