I've been feeling a significant amount of sadness at the feeling like I've now fully lost the 2 places that were my havens for safety and community during the pandemic (Twitter and Reddit). I mostly disconnected a few weeks/months ago, but this weekend feels like the full, official breakup. I wonder if anyone/everyone else is feeling the same?

Totally. I was just thinking about how my very specific life circumstances mean that I'm otherwise distracted and handling it pretty well. But if I were in a rough patch right now this situation would be really, really, really hard. I hope the people in that situation are okay and finding new refuge in places like this ❤

it makes me really thankful that spaces like this already exist - even though they're not nearly as developed/robust as the platforms we've left. I imagine playing cards with good company on a lifeboat can be just as fun as playing a PS5 on a cruise ship.
