Back

When I started on Masto, I was the biggest n00b and not sure what I was doing. I never joined the main site, as it didn't really appeal to me. I started with a few different instances, all very nice in their own ways, but I ended up becoming addicted to the beige cult... They had many characters and loads of lovely emojis, just my cup of tea...

I usually write long toots, and I know that's not something that many people are "into". And I uderstand. Some days, I just can't deal with too much info, so then the shorter toots appeal to me as well.

Some days, my ADHD is wild, and I can't seem to stop writing and sharing things. And, that's a reason why I blog and why I joined the instance with the high character count.

And I wonder, if people are bothered by me sharing (too many) longer toots. I mean, I know that I can just share things any way I would like. People aren't obligated to read my babbling bits... And I know I struggle to comment on toots/posts made by others, as I am always doubting if I will say the right things... I will like, I will boost, but it is hard to comment. And still, when I share my long toots, I always love it when kind people take the time to read and reply to them. So I feel I should comment more myself...

But, should I write shorter toots? Do I need to CW them when they get too long, so they won't take too much space in people's time lines when scrolling?

I do want to engage with folks, as it's part of how I can feel a wee bit connected to this weird world. But I am always doubting if I am doing the right thing. Should I share less? Should I have commented instead of just liking and maybe boosting it?

It's just my anxiety that sometimes gets the best of me and makes me worry if I am doing "this social media thing" right enough...

And here I am, babbling again!

Anywhoo...... Thanks to all that keep up with me, that keep chatting with me, liking and boosting my toots. It really feels very nice to "be seen" in this big and weird world. Fankoos!
