I’m doing some social media house cleaning as I revamp one of my twitter accounts. I created this account when I was learning to code, for the purpose of immersing myself in all things development, and to connect with others working through the 100DaysofCode challenge. Over the four years it’s been active, I’ve accumulated an interesting mix of coding, crypto, and cybersecurity accounts I follow. The coding accounts are generally writers whose work I consumed and helped me along my learning journey. The cybersecurity accounts are a mix of organizations, tools, and researchers I follow. The crypto accounts? JFC that’s the where mess comes from. I joined a rather large DAO in its inception and as I connected and worked with others, we naturally followed each other on social, which, for the time being, was fine. Social contracts being what they are and all.
But now, it’s resulted in a messy feed. There are a lot of people who I follow who I appreciate as humans but what they post fails to serve the purpose in which I created that particular account. So, a-culling do I go.
I have a personal account through which I regularly shitpost, but no one wants to see that. I’ll not follow from that account and thus spare these individuals having to follow back out some sense of obligation.
Also, in retrospect, I wonder how much of my desire to start a new project is my enthusiasm around it vs my desire to just make changes for the sake of changing shit. This may be worth considering.
Anyway, here’s a poster of @blackoblivion from her debut set Daylight. She has a new set, In Reverse, in member review. Let’s make sure she goes pink with this one.
