It’s very funny there are people online I can identify by name/nickname and icon and I don’t follow on X site I see them around. Likewise, there are people I speak with on a semi regular basis that don’t follow me on X site I speak with them on.
The lesson? Follower numbers aren’t an accurate representation of the people something something human relationships something something impact and influence on individual people.
On this topic, I’ve been thinking about ways to describe the relationship with folks I’ve made the past year. Considering using the solar system as a metaphor.

I’m not sure what I did but I have way less comments to reply to know. I should share how I’m keeping up with replies and comments using email.

Also I want to move around the links on my Mastodon account. From top to bottom: pronouns.cc, main site, socials (DW, Pfio), AO3, and linkhub. Edit: Done!
-
The jury’s back from considering the idea of moving the Tumblr button on my linkhub to the Legacy section. More of the folks I care about have moved to Tumblr so it feels even less relevant to my life than before. Edit: Done!
-
Thinking about trying a forum. Folks at Treefort seem nice. There’s also 32 bit cafe as well.
Surely I need more accounts. Surely I don’t have more than twenty replies to answer on Pfio 😂.

I think I’m gonna start crossposting the new blog posts to DW first before doing the same with Pfio. One every day or something. Finally properly following POSSE yay!!!
-
Oh no, I don’t mind posting on my site but crossposting to social media? This is odd, I didn’t use to feel so anxious, did I? Is it because there are more Tumblr folks on Pillowfort? I’m gonna try posting on Dreamwidth first and see how I feel about that.
Edit: Yup, my Pfio follower count is making me anxious greatttt…

Leave it to online folks I want to maintain contact but aren’t quite familiar with to test my boundaries lol. Good thing I have plenty options to protect myself!
-
I’ve noticed that while my motivations of using social media used to be to find like minded fannish folks, lately I haven’t talked about fandom at all. It’s been mostly about the internet itself and web dev.

DMing someone for the first time on Tumblr is such a vast different experience from doing the same on Pfio. On the former, it feels like knocking into a stranger’s home, transgressive, wrong. Over on Pfio, DMs are a tool for communication, a method to share information directed at one person. Like sending mail to a friend or acquaintance.
I used the DM feature on both sites about a day apart and I was surprised the at the my emotional reaction between sites.

The thought of deleting my Tumblr account crossed my mind a couple of days ago and there’s only two reasons I haven’t done that yet. 1) Several mutuals I follow I only know them from there (dang I should really DM them). 2) I had so many amazing conversations with new moots it makes me really sad to lost if I were to delete that account.

Confirmed, when a soc med I use starts a dumpster fire, my attention becomes hyperfixated on the situation (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ . Same reaction when Discord tried to introduce age verification last month! UGHHH!

Reblogging is fine but OH MY GOD trying to post on Tumblr… What a reminder as to why I stopped hanging out there.
-
Dang, I don’t think I’ve been this active in reblogging on Tumblr and Pfio this whole year till today ╰(▔∀▔)╯

Why did I make an account on micro.blog and why am I paying a dollar a month to have a place to ramble?
I have been an avid user of Mastodon since September 2025. A couple of weeks ago, likely from overexposure, I got the classic symptoms of social media overstimulation. Messily, I attempted to cut back on the amount of time I was spending on the platform and pondered hard on the reasons behind the decay of my mental health. Mastodon was supposed to be a healthier alternative to mainstream social media right? Continue reading →
