1SE for January 2024

I made this and then forgot to post it. Features a lot of canal walks and cats.
It's taken me more than an hour to catch up with four days of entries from you all, across DW and LJ. I'm definitely not complaining. I love spending time here reading. It certainly feels more rewarding than, say, trawling through FB trying to find actual updates from friends in between relentless adverts and algorithm-generated memes.

I am just recently making a comeback to DW, though under a different name. I had gotten to the point where I was kind of disgusted with myself for all the endless/pointless scrolling I did on FB, especially as scads of the posts were ads they thrust upon me. I think getting back to writing and reading on DW will be a welcome respite.

By the way, I had never heard of 1SE, but now I am kind of obsessed. So neat!

Ah, excellent! It's fun at the end of the month to see all the videos people post - quite a few do so on DW and LJ.

Welcome back! Yes, I get frustrated with how easily FB can suck me in with content I wasn't even looking for, just some updates from friends. Such a waste of time.

I disabled my FB only in the last week or so. I mostly wanted to use it to keep on top of community happenings and events, but then I'd get sucked into (like you said) all the stuff I wasn't necessarily there for. I need to figure out if there's another source for getting up to date info on community events. Or maybe after a while away, I can go back and just limit my time/focus (logging in, clicking on local groups only, and not reading my feed). We'll see. But I am excited to be back to DW.
