Farewell, again...
|
|

We're living in interesting times (I think that's a very polite way of putting
|
|
it).
|
|
|
|
Back in 2008, when I joined Twitter, it was a place mostly for developers or
|
|
nerds - and it was a good place.
|
|
|
|
It's not that there were no differences of opinion there, but I don't remember
|
|
a discussion about tabs vs spaces degenerating into death threats or lawsuits.
|
|
|
|
Over time, as with the internet a few years ago, Social Media became mainstream
|
|
and Twitter, the happy place, was no longer a happy place.
|
|
|
|
I have tried to stick with it in various ways: I tried lists, read-only
|
|
accounts and whatnot.
|
|
|
|
In 2022, I joined Mastodon and in 2023 I joined Bluesky.
|
|
|
|
But none of them fixed the major problem for me: politics in public.
|
|
|
|
These discussions take place at a level that makes me sick and everyone claims
|
|
the absolute truth for themselves.
|
|
|
|
I don't want to spend my life reading things like that.
|
|
|
|
In early 2015, I've said [9]farewell to several things.
|
|
|
|
And now I'm saying farewell, again.
|
|
|
|
Goodbye Social Media, and thanks for the fish.
|
|
|
|
(I will keep my accounts to avoid abuse)
|
|
|
|
Update:
|
|
|
|
There's [10]something new here.
|
|
|
|
What are your thoughts about
|
|
"Farewell, again..."?
|
|
[11]
|
|
Drop me a line - I'm looking forward to your feedback!
|
|
Please be aware that I'm [12]no longer active on social media. I'm just cross
|
|
posting things over there (it's a bot).
