obvious astroturfing

I realized that every time I composed a post, i was less thinking about what i have to say to my friends, and more thinking about things like "what censor will see this", or "will this get me banned", or any other number of unfun and agency-draining things.

Advertising and constant rage politics, far right idiots, armchair politicians and relatives and friends who wanted to constantly fight, argue and disagree

Facebook: was the death of my grandmother. Had no reason whatsoever to keep otherwise. Instagram: got chronically on it and realized just how much anxiety it gave me. Snap: same as Facebook minus grandma, just didn’t care after my last long term relationship. Got back on for a buddy of mine to just meme at each other. TikTok:same as instagram. It was not healthy and the algorithm I was on was not helpful for quitting my addiction. Spotify: lack of high fidelity streaming, moved to tidal whilst I build up my hifi library on plex and then I’ll do plex pass lifetime.

Quit? You get banned from a lot more medias for simply speaking the truth. Like saying Israel and the US are terrorists.

I joined Facebook back when you needed a .edu address, left because I hated it and I hated them stealing my data. I deleted my twitter after king bazinga bought it. Reddit was the API exodus, but the massive numbers of repost bots and awful liberals really had me tired of the fucking place for a long time before that.

Socially I quit Facebook back when it was Facebook, when I was just starting to have extreme anxiety attacks because of repressed memories from my childhood and the people I had considered friends started spreading libelous claims behind my back and the fallout was either being unfriended by people that had been relatively close friends, and posts that I commented on became barren dessert's, it was obvious people were isolating me out, what I didn't know until much later, was that people were telling them I was a danger to others in whatever specific way would freak them out to make them isolate me. For instance some women were told I would sexually assault them if we were ever alone if they were particularly afraid of that, or they would say I would rape their kid's if I had alone time with them. The weirdest was that I like to rape old ladies because I like the texture of their paper thin skin. Weird fucking shit from very sick, demented minds. I was already having anxiety attacks because of having my face bashed in when I was 2yo by a cop, intentionally. So being further abused on Facebook was a no brainer on things I won't partake in. The truth is I wasn't a danger to anyone, but I know who it was saying those things about me, the police in my old town know who they are and they did nothing. I am definitely a danger to those people now. But I'm states away, so how much damage could Lil ol me really cause with a 3/4in thick, 6ft titanium rod...
