not having engagement counts or metrics in my face has been a great relief
not having an algorithm curating my experience is empowering
not being a product is amazing

@wolfcoder yeah! it's kinda hurtful. I need these connections, but I am seriously anxious around things seeming like popularity contests

@heytanuki all of those metrics and analytics made me feel like someone was trying to tell me to be more marketable. It was uncomfortable.
