At the risk of being one who doth pre-protest too much, I am a human being, not an AI or corporate shill (or both). I’ve been contributing to the web since its earliest days, but—after 5+ years of mostly idleness—I’m coming back online in a streamlined, low-key anonymous manner. So…hello!

@clorgie hello! Pre protesting, is that like pre grieving?

@clorgie Hello, and welcome to Micro.Blog! Hope you’ll find it to your liking. I’ve been somewhat on the net since 1994. It’s sometimes been a love-hate relationship, but mostly in between.

@clorgie hello! I too have been webbing it since the 90s (on the ill-fated diary-x.com, along with @jw). Hope you enjoy micro.blog :)

@clorgie Welcome to Micro.blog! Keeping it low-key is what I’m all about. Except when I’m not. But mostly that.

@herself dx! That takes me back..I didn't use it, but remember when it died.

@odd Fair! In my professional life, it was really great until it was suddenly really not. Institutions and bureaucracies being what they are (and ever shall be :)

@rickcogley Have to optimize my productivity for the grind of despair!

@clorgie I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you have managed to turn the experience in your favour. 🤞😌

@clorgie there’s an app for that

@clorgie the good old days, before backups! 😃
