Again, to hell with Elon Musk.
(EDIT)
So, yeah, once again, this here Dreamwidth blog is basically my sole online presence. No more Twitter, no more Facebook, no more whatever else. I may eventually try to look for an alternative to those, I don't know, but as of right now, this very moment, I don't foresee it happening any time soon, if ever. People keep talking about Mastodon or whatever, but when I briefly checked it out back when I "deleted" my Twitter account the first time, it didn't really grab me. And I have zero interest in Discord or whatever, which seems to be the other main alternative. And I've never had interest in Instagram or Pinterest or any of the other dozens of social media crap there is out there.
For me, at least for now, Dreamwidth is it, and that's all. If it ends up that only![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
owsf2000 ever reads my blather here, that's fine.

(EDIT 2) Seriously, the more I've looked into it, Mastodon and Discord both just kind of seem like gussied up present-day versions of old-school IRCchatrooms (strike-through to kill the Redundant Acronym Syndrome, even though saying "IRC rooms" just sounds weird), which, if that's actually how they function, are not really all that viable as alternatives specifically to shit like Facebook or Twitter, or at least it seems that way to me.

The #ow channel still exists btw. I haven't used mirc in probably decades at this point, I just use hexchat, which is essentially xchat 2 or something. The only ones in the channels these days however are me, goldpseudo, and the ghost of Phht. (One day last year Phht just showed up again... but has not spoken.)
