It has been a week or so since I decided to ditch my kink social media, and I’m not sure how I feel about it just yet. There are times that I feel drawn back to Twitter, just to see what is happening, but then I realise that I left Twitter for a reason, I have no friends (apart from a very select few).
However one of the times I did actually go back and check (naughty me!!), I did notice that not a single person has noticed that I’ve disappeared from Twitter, not a single person messaged Minxy asking where I had gone to, not a single person has commented on the blog asking questions.
It just goes to show what I thought about Twitter is somewhat true. Everyone is somewhat centered about their follower counts rather than their friends. And losing one person isn’t worth worrying about, even if you regularly chatted with them.
You could say that me being all concerned about people saying goodbye is being self-centered, but I think it is just part of being a concerned person for friends. I know that I have said something to a few people who have indicated they were leaving Twitter, so maybe that that just makes me a better person (trying not to brag here).
It almost makes me feel vindicated about why I have left my kink social media account behind. It seems I have very few Twitter friends.
Well I know that you are right about kink social media but I think you are kinda forgetting that places Twitter are online forums that people come and go so frequently it’s hard to get concerned when people leave I’m sure people have wondered what happened to you but it’s just too normal for people to disappear to get seriously concerned it’s the nature of online only friends so while you are right your expectations were too high in the first place it’s not a fair thing to say that you don’t have real friends there after all your the one that left them
But these were people I chatted to daily. People who noticed when I was feeling down. I get that it is online, and people come & go.
Obviously I’m not allowed to have expectations for fellow human beings to have some level of decency, but it just shows that social media has changed the way the world operates and not in a good way.
It really does justify me leaving Twitter.
