I used to post a lot on twitter and then twitter happened and now I’m not really there anymore and neither are a lot of people I would typically follow there – though it’s fifty-fifty on whether that’s because I only look at the “vroooom” motorsport list and not my following or because they’ve actually stopped posting there like I have.

Parts of it are like the post-livejournal splintering. Parts of it are worse because that was so long ago and some of my friends are no longer on the planet for me to be able to follow them to a new social media platform and it feels like I’m leaving them behind, though they’re not there to be left behind. If you get me.

There’s elements of keeping a dead loved one’s phone number in your phone/address book.

I read a lot of email newsletters and of course, I have a backlog of unread newsletters but once again it’s like stepping back into a better time, where the world felt better (though of course, these newsletters are all written during a time AFTER the last time I retreated into the past they offered that I can’t even remember what that event that sent me there was).

Trying to figure out what newsletters in my sidebar I’m still subscribed to and what ones are missing – I guess I’ll have to come back to this one.

I asked someone what their favourite shape was recently and now I’m gently spiralling around the sound of I-S O-S CE-LES

Well that's quite sad and well said. I never was on twitter so I'm sitting this loss out, but it's easy to relate. I still haven't deleted Journalfen.net from my bookmarks because I still have feelings about that apparently. My friendlist here is like half full with names I can't even place anymore, but then I don't want to deal with the ones I still remember who stopped posting so that never gets cleaned up. But even if it's a mess I'd hate to lose that mess to a hostile takeover thing.
