A screenshot of my page right before I deactivated it in 2024.  Note the smear campaign only made me lose around 15-20k followers, but I took a break from posting for a couple of months after that which made my follower count drop to around 107k.  Then I started posting again daily like usual, and got it back to 112k with the MAP essay still on my page as a story highlight.  However, a horrible algorithm update had happened in the meantime, and gaining new followers now required many hours of sould-draining work every single day, so I decided to quit.  I can still reactivate the page at any moment, which I probably will do someday to promote my books once I finish writing them.
