Is anyone else feeling very weird about social media lately?
I've deactivated my Instagram, deleted Facebook years ago, just removed the tiktok app off my phone.
I just feel like it's morphed into this gross, disgusting thing that is owned by narcissists who want to manipulate us.

Have more of that working in conjunction with the few platforms that appear to be less toxic (like BlueSky)
This app is the only one I trust. (For now)
Pre social media social media. The ways we connected and consumed were so different. The Internet felt so much bigger then and yet more connected.

I believe the open, decentralised AT protocol goes some way to addressing this.
I’ve offered alt platforms & resources to do so
I’d appreciate anyone seeing this to take a look, all I ask is share it with someone
We propped them up, we can take them down 💚
Destroying humanity these socials are but no other way
Connect but not get angry is my dream
social media is a dangerous misinformation tool these days and needs to be treated with the utmost caution.
That's always been the case.
It always was.

Plus the regular dehumanization that happens.
