I have not used my tumblr account toixxx-ace in three months. I actually made my last post, with my e-mail and stuff, on April 1st. Funny, isn't it? Except it wasn't a joke I genuinely haven't been on that account in that long. I am really glad I stopped using it, using social media all the time really makes me feel horrible.

But I gotta say... I miss it! I miss scrolling through other people's blogs, I miss liking and reblogging art and fic of my favorite characters! I kinda miss it... Even though I get so annoyed so easily and feel like I'm being yelled at by a hundred people all at once. Not being inundated with constant political messaging has also been pretty nice. I get to choose, instead of having it just appear on my dashboard despite all my attempts to filter it out.

It was also just nice to have low effort social interactions. I could post something, it receives a like or two. Enough social interaction for me to know that I communicated but not to feel overwhelmed. Without social media giving me that low effort interaction, I feel like I have to be careful what I talk about or I might get dragged into a whole conversation about it that I just am not prepared for. Life of an introvert! I guess that's why I post here too, but I don't have the same community or circle of people here that I have/had on Tumblr. It's so hard to reach people on this website, much harder than on tumblr. I worry that this site truly is dead or dying. People say that about Tumblr, but Tumblr is very much alive. I don't know about Dreamwidth. I wish more people I know from Tumblr/IRL were on it. Whenever I search for people with similar interests to me, it always says that they were last active last year or something like that. On Tumblr you can find a fairly active community for even the tiniest of communities. *Sigh*
