Como me ha gustado este texto!, así me siento a cada rato. Durante el COVID perdimos muchos amigos que a menudo reencuentro en Facebook o Instagram. No los borro de mi lista porque es amarga y dulce esa sensación de pensar de que de alguna manera aún están vivos en este otro universo digital.

Beautiful and observant. Do you remember my now-ex Rodolfo? I communicated with him frequently via Facebook after his unexpected death at age 51. Then after a couple years I felt he was not answering anymore so I stopped posting regularly. Yet the odd thing reminds me of him and I message him, knowing he probably still checks his messages at least quarterly.

Profundo and painful. So much to process on how we mourn in the age of social media.

i didn't know you could do that! is it computer generated? forgive my ignorance, and i'm sorry for the pain of your friend and the lingering trauma it may cause.

this is intriguing. perhaps the ghost accounts are portals. that is a robot, but what is a "rur robot"?

that's fantastic. does someone living initiate the automated tweets, or is the ghost speaking through the medium.
