Post

I never really meant to become an account that reposts more than posts, but it's where I am now. I compose a lot of posts and delete them. Maybe it's because I'm older -- maybe it's because I left a career in online media. I've started thinking I don't need to share my thoughts with the void.

It's foreign to me to feel like this. I've always loved geeking out about things to and worth others -- that's what made tech journalism so exhilarating Forums and early social media were a thrill. Twitter before the fall was full of friends and slow (and fast) conversations But now? I don't know.

I'll think of a dumb joke or cultural observation, or a comment about tech or a game and start composition a post And then I'll stop. "The world doesn't need to hear my thoughts on this," I'll think. The app will close. Maybe I'll text the joke to a friend instead. Maybe I won't.

I wonder what changed for me.

I sorta feel the same, without actually having worked in it like you. It just feels like… it’s not worth it to engage anymore. Everything is too volatile.
