The only problem is, where else do you go to be a complete cave dwelling hermit these days? As nice as it is on smaller, indie platforms like this, using them full time is kinda like purposely getting a dumb phone and cutting yourself out from the IM app everyone is using and being clueless about the news and world events.

And out of the mainstream, non anon platforms where there’s actually people, the choice is really only between Zuck shit or Musk shit. Twitter is a shithole that I don’t feel like going near any time soon, so it’s down to Meta, unfortunately.

If the Fediverse was busier, I would be here more full time but I’m at a point where I want to be in the melting pot and in the middle of the conversations of the day. I already did anon for a decade plus on Reddit and I need to get out of the basement from time to time these days. So personally I’m putting up with Facebook for now and hoping that MySpace is gonna turn out cool when it returns.

The fuck up with Facebook is that there’s a lot of good content creators to follow, and there’s new bands floating around to help you not become one of these “music sucks these days” old people yelling at clouds. But it has a massive right wing troll problem in comment sections. It likes to occasionally serve you right wing content if you’re clearly left wing, and left wing content if you’re clearly right wing. And from what I’ve seen, left wing people will mostly use the tools at their disposal to say “not interested” or block etc to get the algorithm right again. But right wing fucks just can’t help themselves and enter every space where they don’t belong to finger paint the walls with their shit. My block list is vast at this point.
