I can put my heart into AU in a way I can’t on other platforms. I don’t enjoy being used to build other people’s digital empire or further their (hidden) agenda. The lack of focus on building followers is a blessed relief; not sure I can ever face doing that again after the horror of Twitter stealing my work. I have been abused so badly so many times that I now need a sanctuary like this to feel safe enough to engage emotionally. Does my mental health needed good.
Again, you have eloquently captured to essence of this platform and its people of which you are a large part of. I appreciate your posts and insights tremendously as I do so many others here. This community is unlike any other and am thankful for each and every one of you. AU is head and shoulders above the rest. IMHO.
