Good on you. I had a bot before I quit in the late teens. I've thought about
turning it back on for a while but waited until any temptation to actually look
at X content had long passed. I did take a quick look around, because some
friends followed and I wanted to see what they were up to, but the sameness
(same takes, same sports, same gossip) turned my stomach. X is 100% safe for me
now because I've zero temptation to read it. Social media is a cancer, BUT all
of my work comes from networking (five years in business and I haven't had a
single cold call), so reminding people I'm still alive (or at least my bot is)
is important. And it gives me an excuse to go back and visit the decades of
projects and interests I've fed it with: images, stories, poems, and hobbies I'd
forgotten.
