"I joined Twitter after Musk took over."

Glad to hear you've gotten something out of Twitter. With all the crap that went on before Musk bought it, it wasn't worth the time of day...at least for me. I figured I'd be banned not long after I joined anyway, so didn't bother. After trying the other social media sites that I mentioned in my previous comment, I just found nothing of interest on them. I also found that being on those sites was taking me away from other things I enjoyed doing.

I'm not much of a socializer to begin with. A long-time divorced mother of two sons in their 50's, I spent 25 years working in NY State's prison system. It sure wasn't the kind of place you'd want to do much socializing in. I know my personality definitely changed from working in the department. You had to be very protective of your personal info, and not be too outgoing. Someone at work once told me I'd been called aloof, but in that kind of setting, you had to be. Been retired almost 20 years. If anything, I've gotten more conservative, and even more set in my ways as the years have gone by. And I have very little patience for nonsense, especially from some of the nitwits that frequent FR. Been here almost 26 years. Can't believe how quickly time has passed.
