This is so good. And I may need to finally get a subscription to The Atlantic so I have those pieces coming to me all of the time. I'm currently checking out Post and liking the fresh start that it's given me, but it's not perfect. And yes, that is another reason why building my Substack community matters. I want to be able to create and not worry about playing a social media game and build a new post-pandemic life.
I agree. My own motivation to "share" something" on social media has fallen away. It seems no one cares, sure I get lots of " likes" but it all fells flat. The friends I do follow and actually personally care about are not as vibrant with their social posting and they post less frequently and with less engagement as they did.
