I joined around 2008 and I didn’t understand how it worked. Thus, my feed was pretty quiet - I followed only a few comedians. It wasn’t until DU went down during the 2016 election that I gave it any serious time.

Before I closed my account this week, my feed was filled with scientists, medicine, history, art, music, and politics. As much as I tried to block the Elon noise, it just kept creeping onto my feed and for the the sake of my blood pressure, I had to let it go.

So far, Post is also quiet. No major arguments I’ve seen yet. I’m looking forward to building up my feed again but it takes a lot of work finding the right people to follow.
