Trading Spaces

This past weekend I rearranged some kitchen furniture and found space I didn’t think I even had. The room is more inviting. Even though my house is small I don’t need lots of space, yet I don’t want to feel cramped.

Although there is a limit to what I can change, due to fixtures set in place, I was able to balance off what I could move. And I hardly had to throw anything out to do it.

 OK, I’m amazed - I’m sure you get that. Now I’ve been thinking about other spaces. Spaces that I can and cannot control at the bird site. Of course, I can choose whom to follow, I can mute or block. I can even lock the account. But knowing that a wave of abusive people are going to be let back into that site, well, it’s sickening. I really don’t want to be a part of a site that approves of so much trash. 

In this case, a safer space, a saner place can be helpful. I don’t know about totally getting rid of the bird site - maybe I can just shut the door awhile. Lock it up. Check on it later.

Meantime, I find a safer, saner place to be at Mastodon. It will take time to build an interactive community for what I enjoy, but as I’ve already started to do that, I find that it’s well worth the effort. 

So I’m rearranging my social media furniture. As this year ends, the bird site will be in a closed locked room for now. As the new year begins, the Mastodon site will be explored and enhanced further inside a bright new living room.

 And you know what? It feels good to rearrange and change. Some sadness for loss, but hope for what is to come. That’s life.
