Social Media

At some point in the last ten years - call it 2017 or 2018 - I reduced all of my social media use.  Mostly Twitter, but arguably that's where I did most of my posting.  I learned a ton from the folks on Twitter in the early 2010s, but at some point I noticed that Twitter wasn't what it once was.  Thousands of cuts seemed to have taken it from an information-dense firehose of select people's thoughts, to an information-sparse firehose of thoughts deemed most pertinent to me.  Deemed pertinent by whom, though?
