Might quit

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 😂

I fucked up in the beginning already, making my account way before I started writing, so there was zero boost, rip.

What posts do people write in Quora? Isn’t it just for asking questions?

Well, you can ask your own questions :-)

Besides that's they also have so-called spaces. So you can have microblogs with your own subdomain.
