There are a lot of good reasons to leave Instagram, but for some reason I find the network effect stronger there than it was on Twitter. I think some of that is how high the garden's walls are; I get a lot of specific information about people and local businesses I care about from their Instagram Stories which can't be seen without an account and usually doesn't exist anywhere else.

I wish I could tell those people—indirectly, collectively, with only the slightest provocation—that they are the reason I'm still there. I bet many of those people feel the same way, about me or others, and wish they could do the same. We could probably use that information to lift entire slices out of the Meta social graph all at once.

Well I did it! After two years of having a yard for Halloween and barely anything to show for it, I set a goal this year that I’d present a spooky scene for the entire month of October. More to come—there’s lots I want to do to embellish this over the coming weeks—but I’m so proud of myself.
