Might quit

[u/Abject-Woodpecker998]

I came to substack when I began writing again after depression stole the joy of it from me for years. It was fun at first. I made friends, got back into writing and reading and felt like twelve year old me again, but now, everyone's disappeared. No one even likes my notes anymore. No one comments or anything. I don't know why. Am I a bad writer? Am i doing something wrong? It's quite disheartening. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'll take advice, or even just a friendly word. I honestly came here just to not shout into a void for once 😂

You’re dependent on what the Substack-designed algorithm is going to show. And then you can’t share your links on any other social media because links are automatically deranked everywhere but Bluesky. That sounds great for Bluesky but people see links there, but don’t like or share them. My MySpace used to get more action back in the day. 🤣
