After Facebook increased the volume and reach of MAGA, I deleted my account and all my content there, that day.
After Twitter started hosting a Tucker Carlson talk show, I deleted my seldom used Twitter account that day.
If you become dependent on any particular online community, and don't posses the presence of mind to know what your core values are as a human being, you're gonna get used up.
I think it was PT Barnum who said "There's a sucker born every minute"
@0d9708df @38fcf2ec I left Facebook after I read about Cambridge Analytica. I’ve been know to vanquish most my addictions (smoking, but not chocolate).
@098a11ae @0d9708df @38fcf2ec For me, the biggest issue with leaving Facebook is that I don't know where to really go next...and I have my family contacts and friends contacts to try and keep in contact with.
One friend went to Minds, but that's heavily cryptocurrency focused, so it'd just be moving out of the fire into a pressure cooker in my opinion.
But also...there's the network effect and needing to get people to follow; I couldn't get them to friend me on Steam as an in-between.
@6c4168c2 @0d9708df @38fcf2ec most of my family stopped communicating on Facebook before I did. As for the high school lot, losing them was a bonus!😎 Facebook was an easy quit for me. I was already addicted to Twitter at the time anyway.
