hikari no yume: the algorithm is killing twitter and it's driving me insane

I kinda feel sorry for the author of this post; she seems to have invested a lot of emotion into Twitter. I suspect that she knows she should delete their account, but can’t bring herself to do it yet because there are too many fond memories wrapped up in Twitter.

Yeah I saw this one pop up on Mastodon, but haven’t gotten through the entire thing yet due to its length. I too hope they’re able to find a happy medium somewhere for their own health. For me I was able to break free of those feelings by archiving my social media on my website, or in a safe place on my hard drive. Taking control of it helped me to still value those memories but pull away from engaging with it so emotionally.
