I post a comment or question on...
birbsite: eerie silence, then a marketing bot follows me.
fediverse: fourfteen badillion replies that are all well thought out and interesting and oh god now I have to reply and I'm in seven conversations halp oops I made new friends
@andyAstruc I have some ok conversations on there but if I talk too much some people will frown at me and say it's the "wrong venue for a discussion". But won't suggest a "right" one. Except email, but that feels scary and claustrophobic, like a boss pulling you into a closed door office.
@natecull Oh god, that boss metaphor is perfect. It is exactly like you've been warned about reckless talks and now the foot is going down.
On other social media I'm always the last word because I will just keep talking as others float off.
