I finally deactivated my old twitter account. I hadn’t used it for months. End of an era! I first joined in 2009 to document my move from Indiana to Dallas after graduating from IU (I moved back lol)

I was sad to close mine, but honestly I don't miss it. Not what it became. What it used to be? 2008-2015ish Twitter? It will always have a special place in my history.
I was telling someone today about how when it started it was like we were all finding commonality with people, discovering new folks to bond with over shared interests. Now it feels like social media is all about the differences... in the worst ways possible sometimes. This place is OK *so far*.
100%! Before I deactivated my account I scrolled through everyone I followed, in chronological order- it was so clear to see these different ‘eras’ of interest I had over time and the people I followed. It really was a great way to connect with new people and ideas.

This place isn’t quite that yet
