First post! I'm in Minnesota. I'm too old to understand the federated stuff very well and am having a confusing learning curve here and on Mastodon. I just know it's time to get away from social media with shareholders attached, so here I am. Every day is some new horror, but also every day, here I am, trying to learn something new.

Hello! I'm in Minnesota. I'm a social worker, former therapist, and work for local government. I'm trying to exit as many other social media platforms as I can and get back to slower, more local, person- and purpose-centered internet.
I understand and like the basic idea of federated platforms, but find them a confusing learning curve after decades of being hand-fed and dark-patterned around, so am still getting my feet under me. I feel about as old as I possibly could in the process. But I'm glad to be here learning!
I'm mostly a quiet and introverted lurker, but will probably pop up with a long rant the first time something about the state of the therapy industry comes up, lol.
