“What I do miss is having a place to share a quick opinion about something.” There’s the rub, isn’t it? I sometimes do as well. It’s learned behavior for both of us. No one needs that opinion, and no one’s actively looking for it. (Your longer-form Substack, on the other hand, is something I am excited about every time you publish). In my case it’s more that I want to share links to things I’ve read, from people who have interesting things to say or who wrote a great book or what have you. But I’m still far happier being off social media and having that purity of mind to NOT know about Twitter reaction to Louie CK than I was when I’d obsessively open the app 15 times or more a day.
