Almost Five Years Since Dumping All Social Control Media
Filed under: Back to blogging
he second month of 2022 is – or was – when I finally quit all social control media. I had already stopped engaging or interacting much in it (2 years earlier), but I still posted to it and checked every reply.
No more.
As an associate has put it to me: “There’s probably a public health aspect to social control media when considered at scale. The stress and hate has to be extracting a physical cost on the overall health of the population. There are too many otherwise smart people who participate in it and are thus exploited yet seem to think that they alone in the whole world are immune to it. It’s sad to witness as people succumb to it, even from an online distance.”
Looking back, my time without social control media is the same as the full-scale Ukraine invasion.
I don’t want to have anything to do with weaponised ‘platforms’.
