Oh yes, I hate FB too, but unfortunately it's where all my friends and neighbours in real life hang out, so if I want to be involved in my real life community, FB is the place I have to go. I still avoid it as much as I can.
And yes, that was about the time I left LJ as well. I wish I'd managed to import my LJ into DW, but I didn't. And like you I found it just too quiet here and went off to try and find somewhere else. But DW has certainly stood the test of time, given that it's here still, ten years later :) It's nice to think that perhaps people are actually drifting back.
I dance with Sutton Masque, Ely & Littleport Riot Border morris, and Coton Morris, which is a Cotswold side. I normally play the whistle for them all too, but I've been learning to play the melodeon over the lockdown, so by the time we're dancing again I might be doing that :)
Oh yes! I love the Murderbot books too. I read through all of the books and then I bought all the audiobooks as well, and now they're probably my number one comfort read. The narrator of the audiobooks is very good. I've just started listening from All Systems Red again today, in fact :) they're so kindly, and you can't say that of many books
