I understand this, but I was also prepared.
People thought (wrongly) that I was a big deal on twitter, and I knew then that it didn't matter, because it could all go away in a blink of an eye, with a single click of a mentally ill tranny janny's mangled finger.
I also didn't care about clout, but the human connections I made.
And a lot of them are over here, with me.
So I'm happy.
