I’ve gotten sick of data breaches (Cambridge Analytica) and right-wing, nut-job, idiots (Musk) screwing up social media so I generally stay away now. But, I still want a place to share jokes, ideas, interact with people, etc.
I genuinely believe social media/networking has some truly amazing value/advantages. You can find & ask for help, you can organize events, you can stay up-to-date with friends’ lives, etc. Unfortunately capitalism has ruined all that and our personal data is now mined for sales & advertising opportunities and exploited for questionable gain.
So, I’ve created a WordPress category for social posts. This category is excluded form the blog feed (not treated as blog posts) but you can view the posts either by viewing the specific category or by coming back to this page. As with any WordPress post, you can comment on anything, just like any other social network. But, I own the data, you know there’s no tracking pixels, and you’ll never see an ad.
Want to subscribe and keep up with my social media posts? Easy, WordPress provides “subscribe by email” or you can add this link to your RSS feed reader.
