Because of crap like this is why I haven't been on any mainstream social media for 7+ years. And where do companies get off going over employees' personal crap anyway? For the record, I believe EVERYONE hates Mondays.

I left my final mainstream social media with the Reddit API debacle back in 2023. And before that, I left Facebook and Twitter in 2018.

I can only say that I'm all the better after removing them all from my life. My mental health has improved dramatically since then.

Funny how involved I was on Twitter and especially Reddit prior to summer 2023, yet barely noticed when I deleted my accounts.
