I’m going to be most likely permanently leaving social media.
Not trying to “this isn’t an airport, no need to announce your departure” type post, but real talk, that’s mainly what this.
I just can’t with mainstream social media anymore and for a myriad and plethora of reasons that are both personal, in regards to the affect I have seen it has done to me, our generation, the disturbing impacts it has had on the mental health of so many, the perpetual ensh*tification, the blacklisted and shadowing banning of any dialogue or speech that goes against the agenda of the billionaire and techno fascist rhetoric, the constant censorship of any criticism or critique upon genocide, system racism, and fascist idealogy, as well as there is just more and more AI slop everywhere, the increased concerns of corporate sponsored big brother servialnce, especially towards marginalized and disenfranchised communities - which I am convinced is some kind of psyop deliberately being used to cause discord and suffering from the elite, the white supremacy hegemony, and Thiel/Yarvin/Musk/Vance chuds and their 1984 and “empathy is a blight,” and “humans don’t deserve an ensured continuation of survive, war and death cult mentality, mysognistic and manosphere mentality that continues to grow, and so do many reasons.
I have only been really loggin on around once every week a half lately, and this gradual shift to Idiocracy IRL is really at this point a choice now to continue to partake in this brain rotted propaganda machine.
I can’t even see my friends post anymore. It’s just endless AI generated slop, and so many other causes of suffering, mass psychosis, and all other “leopards are my face” content constantly.
So, I think I’m probably going to be officially taping out of all Meta platforms, and most social media platforms altogether entirely. I don’t want to continue to be exposed to thhe ENSH*TFICATION of this, digital Soylent Green cognitive violence any longer. Tired of it.
I have used social media since its original conception with early MySpace (shout out to Tom,) pre-puritanical Tumblr, hell, even LiveJournal back in back in the day. Really at this point, with the rise of AI slop perforating every aspect of our digital culture, it’s no longer something I can just passively consume or take part of.
Sadly, it’s really the only way I can often keep contact with folks. But the risks and cons far outweigh the pros and rewards.
So, I’ve decided that I’m going to be for the forswear future, possibly indefinitely, removing any traces of my existence off all social media platforms. It sucks, because throughout my life, I’ve been heavily involved in so many amazing intersectional online spaces and communities, disability advocacy and education spaces, Dharma and interfaith community engagement, and not to mention it being the main source of keeping up with people.
That being said, I’m gonna finish out the week or so to make sure I can get get contact info from folks to stay in touch with.
I encourage anyone who wants to stay in touch, don’t hesitate to reach out, I don’t want to miss the chance to stay in contact, so I’ll leave this up for a bit, to allow people to see it.
As of now, I’ll be deleting (not deactivating) my FB, my Insta, my disability education and advocacy page, my Discord, and my Reddit.
The only social media I’ll continue to use is WhatsApp, Line, (and other encrypted messaging services like Telegram and Signal possibly?) I may eventually jump back on my Medium page for my writings, maybe Mastadon and BluSkay if it makes sense.
Anyway. I’ll keep helping with Celeatial Platform Vihara, and other public community dharma, neurodivergent, solidarity, and q***r community spaces online, but from a much more impersonal distance.
So if you want to stay in contact with me, which I sincerely hope you do, please send me your WhatsApp, Line, IMessage info, email or whatever in my messenger if you want to stay in touch. I’ll leave this up for a few days, but as of now, I can’t stick around here anymore.
