post — wasteof

tldr: i’m tired boss

as time goes by, i think about retiring from wasteof to an extent

i realize that sounds crazy, considering the position i was elected to

but frankly, i’m burnt out from the entire presidential endeavor and it left me with a sorta bad taste in my mouth

if i could abolish wasteof politics entirely, i would, but apparently people want another election to happen next year, so i guess not

idk, i feel like social media as a whole isn’t something that really benefits me at the end of the day. i’m just shouting my opinions into a void in the hopes that i get a number that indicates that one or more people agree with me, and maybe that’s not healthy

i’ve never been comfortable with posting on, say, twitter, because of what that website has become over the past ten years, but i could justify being on wasteof because it’s a small community and no one will ever find my account

but after discovering 70+ messages from a wasteof user i thought i was on speaking terms with who decided to say some real mean things behind my back, that argument isn’t really working anymore. i’m not a snowflake or anything, i think anyone would realistically lose the motivation to moneywaste if they had to read that (and if you’re tough enough to not do that, good for you i guess :P)

now, again, i’m just spitballing here, but assuming i really were to vanish one day, i don’t think i should completely abandon the internet. there are some real great people i’ve met during my time here who i think i’ve developed genuine friendships with. maybe i’ll keep my discord account? or i’ll move to a new one and only tell trusted friends where to find me? who knows

lemme clarify, everything i just said above was a hypothetical. i’m doing well, and i dont have any current intentions to leave the internet as of right this instant. wasteof is a really great site. i mean no ill will against anyone using this site, most of my criticisms are just about the nature of social media in general and are not targeted at you guys. this site as a whole is something i’m glad i got the chance to discover.

its just… retiring is looking more appealing.

thanks for reading all this

Hey, though we don't speak often, I enjoy when we do and it'd be nice if you kept Discord—though I'd understand if didn't want to.

Also, who has been talking about you?

thanks for the comment, i also enjoy when we talk :)

as for your other question, i’d prefer to keep their identity anonymous (i haven’t confronted them, they don’t know i know, mutually assured destruction, i don’t like having beef with people, water under the bridge, yadda yadda yadda).

i can say that it’s not you or anyone you’re associated with, but that’s about all i’m comfortable saying. i hate to vaguepost but i hope you understand, and thank you for your concern - i really appreciate it :)

honestly, I understand this. wasteof isn’t any different than any other social media in that you’re always trying to get attention and likes and for me, always thinking, irl, about what I should post next and what would sound funny. I have lots of reasons to leave but at the same time I feel like I kinda just want to stick around to see what happens. if you do leave that would be really sad for me, and I hope that someday maybe you’ll come back if you do that.

thank you for commenting, i’m glad i’m not the only one who’s had this on their mind. :)

just for my future reference, are you on any other platforms? i’m far more active on discord these days, if you have that (kiwi.two), but i get it if not
