Considering the amount of random hate he’s conjuring up from green HN usernames, he must be doing something right that’s upsetting to some community or another. :-D
Not gonna blow condescending garbage your way. Your feeling is not unique but not in the majority, and it’s exhausting to hear the ‘have’ ppl with no actual ability to relate jabber on.
Hope you can find bits of joy where you can make them.

I wonder how many (if any?) were sold, it'd be an excellent museum piece.
It'd be a privilege to be able to disconnect from the feeds, but trying to rebuild in-person social interactions when you're old and have no family or local friends really sucks. Facebook's become:
* Who died this week
* Spammers liking your posts and asking for friend adds
* Gofundme's for ppl who will now spend the rest of their lives in medical debt
