Screw it

Okay, I'm done. Every so-called "social media" platform has turned out to either be a dead zone, abuse the privacy and personal information of their users, or be a home for bullies and assholes - and sometimes all three.

I'm tired of trying to share interesting stuff and being abused for it. And of making comments and posts only to be attacked by shills. So fuck it! I'll post here.

Nobody reads this, of course. It's like digging a hole at midnight, whispering your secrets into it, and then filling in the hole. But why not? At least it will be less aggravating.

I can't help feel that there's something wrong, somehow. I've spoken against social media before - I see it as a toxic, ersatz replacement for the face-to-face human contact which we as a species evolved to need. It's easily controlled and monitored by the economic and power elite. And those are the same forces which deprived us of neighborhoods and long-term social connections.

Isolated, inundated with toxic and controlled media, and fearful of each other. That keeps people helpless.
There has to be a better way than this.
