    It really doesn’t need to be this way.

    At any time, we can decide to open our own blog for $9 a year. At any time we can choose to ditch algorithmic socials.

    If we don’t like them, we don’t need to use them, and just switch off.

      you can publish independently, but it’s hard to get found. Search engines are cluttered with nonsensical link farms these days :-(

      Blogger is free I think - though a domain name will cost ya. I’ve thought about doing this for a while. Back to blogging. Seems so therapeutic.
