Social Media Detox

We are sitting here on the cusp of the TikTok ban, and to be honest.... I'm in mourning over here. It showed me so many amazing things. It had so much positivity and wonderful things happening on it.

The ban hurts me.

It was my main source of news.
It was my main source of entertainment to a certain degree.
It was my connection to a bigger world.
I laughed, I cried, I found anger, I found joy.

I found community.

I don't think any of the lies about data security hold any water. The big tech companies have sold our data to everyone 100 times over. This was about controlling the dissemination of information to the masses.

In protest of this banning: I am uninstalling Facebook, X, Instagram, Snapchat, and all other social media.

In the future, my primary presence online will be through this website, and my primary mode of contact will be through traditional text and Signal.

I am going to try my best to detox myself from social media.
