Short

Yeah, shocking isn't it?

First, a little bit of history.

Back when Musk bought Twitter, I had already started to withdraw from social media has a whole. At the time I had a partner who ended up moving to Mastodon and convinced me to join.

At first I had an account on hachyderm.io, after learning of some “fedi drama” regarding the operation of that instance, I though it would be best to move.

Up next was girldick.gay, not the best instance name to have on my website but at the time I didn't really care much.

I ended up hosting my own instance on a server in my garage using NixOS and a custom flake, this is where I stayed on the Fediverse until today.

“Why?”

Well, I'm going to pin the want on what I was feeling back when Twitter was my main addiction. I just didn't want to continue to use social media, it started to affect my mental health really.

“OK so why did I end up on the Fediverse?”

Because of a partner, one who is no longer in my life.

It's just taken since May for me to finally just cut it all out.

In the end, I think this will be for the better. In moving to a blog format, I can think through my thoughts more and also not be subjected to the hell that is social media.

I don't really care if what I put out on the internet is even seen, I have other more important life matters to focus on.

Welcome to my lil' corner of the internet, now in blog format.

I hope you stay around for the “once-a-few-months”.
