**Further update, 2023-07-21**: After a few weeks, I realized I'd lost interest in Bluesky, too, so I deleted my account there today.\

**Further update, 2023-09-08**: I'm back on the Fediverse, as [@BryceWrayTX@fosstodon.org](https://fosstodon.org/@BryceWrayTX). Although I [once worried](/posts/2023/01/another-move-mastodon/) that my non-FOSS-related observations would make me a bad guy on the Fosstodon instance, I decided the simple fix for that was to limit those observations to a minimum. I am enjoying once again being able to follow a number of developers, and other very smart folks, whose observations and insights I value greatly.

**Further update, 2023-10-11**: I returned to Reddit a few months later. Love it or hate it (and/or its management), Reddit's most knowledgeable commenters, past and present, continue to provide an amazingly high percentage of the best answers that search engines return for my many tech-oriented queries. Having an account once again makes it easier for me to see some of the deeper-level replies in long, complicated threads. Besides, there's a lot of truth, albeit sad truth, in [this observation](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37823112) and [this one](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37824355) in a [recent Hacker News thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37821557). While the subject of the overall thread was Big Tech's control of social media, these remarks more specifically referred to the brief but widely touted protests that some subreddits mounted against Reddit's aforementioned actions against users of its APIs.
