Slowly disconnecting. Pulled the plug on my Instagram and Threads accounts today. Twitter long since gone. Am letting friends on FB know that I'll be disappearing there as well. With rail.chat on Mastodon, I know who owns the server (me!). DM me if you want my connection info for Signal and/or Telegram.
