Just give me time and I'll find you again. Do not underestimate how bad I am at social media and just socializing in general.

nommedeploom.bsky.social•95 days ago

i licherally don’t notice or think anything of it, im the kind of social media stupid where idc if im mutuals with someone or not, if we talk then we talk ASKFKFKS 😭

bryanthepirate.drunkenstrategy.com•95 days ago

I didn't take it personally. Social media isn't that serious. Never feel obligated to follow someone!

sarenstone.com•95 days ago

See I also assumed I was also following you! It’s just really easy for me to think all of my old connections are still there 😭

bryanthepirate.drunkenstrategy.com•95 days ago

I wouldn't have held it against you either way! As long as I always get to enjoy your art, your sneaky robot penises and the joy they both bring you then I am good and happy 💜

dunesand.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm the same way haha... so many ppl I'm trying to remember/re-find 😵‍💫

lostbluejay.bsky.social•95 days ago

That’s completely understandable! It does happen! I don’t think you should worry nor be anxious, especially when you don’t do it intentionally ❤️

noizemaze.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm always happy to see you posting what you wnjoy

krimbo.bsky.social•94 days ago

I don’t think you’d recognize / remember me anyway 😂

areweebthereyet.bsky.social•95 days ago

Also tricky with people coming over in waves. Some have been here for months and others a day.

sarenstone.com•95 days ago

poo brain and social media burnout are my exact diagnoses

splitxheart.bsky.social•95 days ago

I absolutely feel that! I have massive pea brain issues, so just in case I try to follow as many folks as possible.

rubyarch.bsky.social•95 days ago

Have you tried using "sky follow bridger" ? Might help you find more!

sarenstone.com•95 days ago

I have! And I caught a chunk of people that way, but twitter literally stops auto-loading my following list before I could get through everybody so 🫠

rubyarch.bsky.social•95 days ago

I believe you scroll down and press find more you keep going and it gives you chunks at a time so you can get through all of it

sarenstone.com•95 days ago

yeah, but after a while it just stops 😞 (i followed a lot of people)

rubyarch.bsky.social•95 days ago

Aww that sucks D:

dovebleedingheart.vtube.social•95 days ago

It’s ok ! Rebuilding is always gonna be slow

lewdpetrarca.bsky.social•95 days ago

I generally assume most of my big-name moots on twitter followed me by mistake and just forgot to correct it.

bastardcherub.bsky.social•95 days ago

I believe there’s a website that lets you follow the people you followed on x if they have a bluesky account!! might be worth trying :))

mylifeasbeau.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'll always support you regardless, a follow doesn't change that ! Your stuff is cool, I've always admired it I'm just glad I get to support cross socials :))

valeoffeathers.bsky.social•95 days ago

I don't think it's as deep as some people feel.

Like, we're bouncing in and out of socials all the time, it's exhausting.

samueldeats.bsky.social•95 days ago

Me: oh that mutual replied to me again that's nice

Me: oh and again that's nice

**finally clicks profile after 10 interactions**

Me: .... ...... .. Hold up--

sarenstone.com•95 days ago

SJDEWRF YEAH THIS

articbleu.bsky.social•94 days ago

I figured for some moots that it was a intersecting connection we might have had at some point in time but we've eventually moved on from that juncture

I'm not the same person I was 5 years ago and I assume they aren't either and that's okay! We move on and like other things etc.

zahir.bsky.social•95 days ago

my problem was that i use a different handle here than i did on twitter, so you and a lot of my other moots haven't found me on here yet 😭 this is the price i pay for having snagged a fun handle that i like lmao

aj-amora.bsky.social•95 days ago

Same honestly

corviday.bsky.social•95 days ago

i’ve def just missed the follow notification half the time lol

mp-potions.bsky.social•94 days ago

Ahh, me too, I joined bsky early and used the bridge to avoid this, but it couldn't find people *who joined after I did that* & I forget to check it again every time I boot up the pc 😅

rezllen.bsky.social•95 days ago

I've also missed notifications from some people and felt awful about it when I realized. A lot of the alerts are just a lot to keep up with, so I'm just pacing myself with refinding folks.

whiskeyrain.bsky.social•95 days ago

When you didn't follow me at first, I didn't think much just "Oh, we're not mutuals here." and just moved on lol (Cause I figure no one owes a follow to anyone, etc)
Then when you did follow me again I got the same lil 'yippeeee' that I did the first time lmao

jelart.bsky.social•95 days ago

but also the notifs on here are not good so half the time ya just don't see it 😩

2eeillustration.bsky.social•95 days ago

I FEEL THIS 😭😭 my brain can't keep up with social media as much anymore

sarenstone.com•95 days ago

YEAH SSEE I LITERALLY WASNT FOLLOWING YOU YET DESPITE SEEING YOU ON MY TIMELINE, I JUST ASSUMED I WAS 😭

sharksmut.bsky.social•95 days ago

Honestly don't feel bad, there is also just falling out of love with what some people create? It's perfectly fine in my opinion and I would never take it personally if former mutuals don't follow me back on new platforms.
Social media is overwhelming anyway 🫂
