After seeing a few other folks take breaks from social media recently, I think I’m going to do one for the month of May. I just think it would be good for me to take a break for a little bit since the world is…..a lot right now. The timing also works out because I’m going to be starting grad school and having less distractions while I get adjusted to being in school again would be good for me. This really just means not using Mastodon, Blue Sky, and Instagram. I’ll still keep using Discord and forums and I’m going to allow myself to cancel this hiatus if there’s any major life events or emergencies that I need to tell about. Mother’s Day is also in May so I’ll probably make a post about that. My blog posts will automatically go to both Mastodon and Bluesky but I won’t be looking at them so please comment directly on the posts if you have any thoughts.

But that’s it. There’s no moral reason for it, I’m just exhausted by it at the moment. That said, I do hate FOMO and encourage everyone to join me for purely selfish reasons.

This does mean that I will be posting on here a lot more often, because I must still post. But I will avoid junking up your RSS feed with more than one post a day.

Like my About page says, I welcome Discord messages and email, and you’re welcome to message me on Signal at mikeklam.87. Yep, even just saying hi is welcome!

I do wonder how much this will impact my indie game roundups since I find out so much from Bluesky and mastodon, so again, please feel free to message me or comment on posts with your games or other ones that excite you. I’m looking forward to this and seeing how it goes since I spend way too much time on social media.
