I just left an online community I've been participating in for the last five years. It started out on Slack at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic in late 2020 and later moved to Discord. I've been considering leaving for quite some time, but after an unpleasant interaction this morning it felt like the right time to move on.
I don't even know who said it first, but it's a good axiom: the best things in life aren't things.
I took down my blog because, for a brief time, I was trying live scambaiting on Twitch and I wanted to be extra careful about privacy. But I'm not doing that anymore and there are some things I have been wanting to write about. So the blog is back!
I started watching Twitch again after taking a break for 7 weeks. It's only been a few days, but I think it's causing me to slip back into old thought patterns and habits. I need to cut way back and limit myself to specific streams and times. Or stop watching altogether.
