no grievances towards twitter in particular, since I use it to keep up with what friends are making and also get emotional about miserable video game men (read: browse through thirst trap art of miserable video game men), and I am very grateful whenever people reply or engage with something I’ve made, I do enjoy interacting over there, I just keep running into moots culture where people think being mutuals is a fast pass to friendship, and I keep thinking about that one time someone tagged me in a follow forever and then got really mad that I didn’t follow them back for it, and now I feel like taking shots at twitter when it’s really more of a Friends/Not Friends thing re: who gets to call me by what name

#also moot culture is cringe. cringe is dead but that moot shit is actually cringe and incredibly unhealthy #i keep trying to reconnect with artist circles on twt and oh my god every other post is 'looking for moots!' you goddamn clown #asking for mutuals is ridiculous. like. that's no way to build up the relationships you are making a bullet point list about #that kind of thing creates the parasitic illusion of a relationship. you've influencer-ified friendships. jfc #and not everyone has to be a Friend!!! you know!!! its fine to just know people casually!!!!! its okay!!!!!!!!!
