I signed up for my first account here in November 2022.
Before we got Summer.
I had zero social media experience.
I didn't know how to avoid the unkind, unfriendly, and downright mean stuff that felt pretty awful when directed at me or Summer. So, I deleted my account and decided social media wasn't for me.
A few months later, I reached out to my family, who are well versed in these things, to tell me where I went wrong. I missed all the good people and positive interactions and sense of community. So, with some new tools in my toolbox, I tried again.
This time, it's working and a joy. I understand better that blocking voices that tear me down instead of lift me up is ok.
Thanks to all of you all who make Mastodon a better place and offer the kind and caring community I was looking for.
This sunset happened when I was taking a break, but I am sharing it in place of the one that wasn't today.
