  • I just did the same thing - logged on to my facebook account after many years, and I’m not having the same experience at all. Old friends, neighbors, and relatives posting disappointing amounts of AI slop, some local news it suggests I follow (something about a hairdresser getting fined for refusing service), one particular former neighbor posting an endless barrage of AI-generated religious slop… and that’s about it. It wasn’t interesting a decade ago, and it only got less interesting since.












  • I was in a (very) long distance relationship at the time, and decided it was worth taking risks and making bold moves, so I moved to close the distance. We got married in 2008, and are married still, so that worked out great. I tried keeping in touch with friends, but over time our life experiences diverged to the point where we just didn’t have a lot to talk about anymore, and old friendships fizzled out. I learned many things, got new jobs and made new friends, and overall life is good.
