Guys, at this rate I don’t think the revolution’s going to happen anytime soon.

    I need someone to explain to me why I should be guilted into staying on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

    By this logic I should be on truth social trying to make it “a better place.” This is fucking stupid. The sites are built on rage bait, The algorithms want to keep you angry and fighting with people online. You are fighting against massive companies who have weaponized your data against you for the purpose of making sure you hang around. The only correct decision is to leave.

    We need to build our own spaces and defend them.

      Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with leaving. I don’t think social media is productive in reality. You’d get a lot more done doing any level of political action in real life.
