Day 0: Behavioral Observations

I felt compelled to keep track of my transition from Facebook to SpaceHey. I intend on doing this periodically.

I have noticed the following changes in my behavior:

When having urge to check in on friends, first instinct is to check SpaceHey instead of Facebook. That conditioning was ez, almost like i've been ready for this for years. It's kind of weird because that ended up kicking in before hardly anyone moved over. W/e, serves as a testament to how much i've wanted this type of thing back.
I have actually put some effort into a project without even thinking about it, and have felt good at getting results come out of it. This has, in turn, inspired me to take up other projects that I might have previously found too steep.
I still have Messenger, but i'm finding it to be kind of a nuisance. I'm not checking it as often unless i'm actively having a conversation with a friend, and truth be told, i'm preferring stuff like Discord for that.
This one's IMing system is functional [i would be stoked to see a standalone client for it, but i get there's a lot to build out] but as far as things that my friends have phone apps for, i'm sort of tethered to messenger. boo.
not once today have my thoughts gone to "i wonder what dumb shit i'm going to see on my news feed today". not once. just a bunch of wholesome people trying to build up profiles or do weird stuff with their layouts. like the good ol' days.
I don't feel obsessed over 'interaction' count; i'm content having a home to post stuff to and build upon as i do cool stuff. If nothing else, it's a nice motivation to build stuff, now that i have a solid platform to aggregate it on and embed stuff to.

I will probably still have to maintain my old facebook account as A. I likely have not taken care of all of the SSO ties to it, and B. I am working on things that may warrant making - or at least moderating - a facebook page for it. As of now it's semi-dormant.

i feel like this is the first weekend i haven't felt like i pissed down the drain in god-knows how long. I'm sure i've had weekends where i've avoided facebook but i tended to find myself aimless.

maybe this'll make up for 2020.
