Exactly! I spend all day having private conversations about similar topics with friends that I know would have interesting conversations together as well, have things in common and learn from each other- dms feel like hoarding sometimes! I love the sanctity of the dm but the more open spaces are just as important to me and twitter has been so awful. It reminds me of my college experience- i met friends that have profoundly affected my life, but the institution itself was kind of traumatizing. It’s up to me to curate my current spaces to nurture those connections instead of relying on…twit. And you are right about discord servers like why does getting on one feel like you’re being screened for shitty poly. It’s more secure yes but still feels more exclusive than a forum, that extra step is like 🧍‍♂️. Dreamwidth I can dig tho! However I remain a messy nosy bitch so I will always look at twitter.

Re: nostalgic fandoms yes! Volunteering at a theater has really restored my love of film and discussion and joking about it- dropping little facts and observations in person, all while perfecting my popcorn machine ratios… it feels like im flexing a dusty part of my brain. its so fun and tactile!

Anyway! our bread is gonna be so delicious 😋 Thank you for comment too, I look forward to what you are cooking 🥹❤️
