Stan CareyI quit Twitter in 2022 when Musk took over. I was part of some good, active communities there, especially in editing, book, and linguistics circles.
Conversations had been getting hard to muster even pre-Musk. The vibe had soured, and when the takeover happened I was done.
Mastodon appealed and immediately seemed much more positive, friendly, and authentic. It still does.

Stan CareySince quitting Twitter in 2022 I've found less work as a copy-editor/proofreader. It wasn't my main source, but it led to regular enquiries and drove traffic to my website + blog. Work gaps are more frequent now.
I don't regret leaving Twitter, not even a little. But I have noticed the effect on my modest, freelance income. Which is not easy in an expensive country (Ireland) with a cost-of-living crisis.

Stan CareyI've just had a proofreading job postponed, and a long-time editing project is winding down. So I'm looking for more work.
If you have writing you'd like revised, polished, or checked for errors, or if you know someone in that position, maybe I can help.
I'm based in Ireland but work with people from all over. Testimonials and other info here: https://stancarey.com/
