New here? Good. Here is what nobody will probably tell you. There is an algorithm detox coming. Days where you post into nothing and wonder why you left. That feeling is the old platform leaving your system. Let it. The engagement here is not manufactured. That means it starts slow and hits different when it arrives. Find the notes with visibility and leave real comments. Not emojis. Not one liners. Show up as the person you came here to be. The friends will come. The convictions that brought you here will be tested by the silence. Hold them anyway. Everyone here who stayed will tell you the same thing. It was worth it. I am one of them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Algorithm detox is real—I’ve felt it switching platforms before. The lack of engagement friction here forces authenticity, but it also means bad actors can’t hide behind algorithmic noise. Reminds me of an article on how AI systems get exploited when trust is over-indexed (see below).
