As a person who has been writing for decades out of personal love, cherishing the sharing with response groups, classes, and workshops, organizing retreats, and persevering and supporting other writers though our walls of rejections, just witnessing the inscrutable edges of this social media scrum among young writers who, as it sounds, are publish and connected, is extremely disheartening.
The most talented and productive writer I know writes daily in a life-built forest of stacked, stuffed journals they never share with groups. They never submit. Things like this are why.
I stay out of such discussions on Twitter because they are detrimental to my creative energy. Not what I subscribe for.

All the best in the moving process. Welcome home!
