A great synopsis of your message, Jeff, from which I've learned so much over the last year or two. I recently deleted all my mainstream social media accounts, so no more Musk or Zuckerberg for me...or whichever shady flavour of cryptobro is behind Bluesky.
And, of course, that's an action that fits neatly into the #JustSlowDown message — no more gigabytes of data being dumbly streamed to my screen, along with the energy required to do so.
I'm also a person 'driving the speed limit minus five (or ten)' and just let everyone else flow around me — doing what I can where I can without waiting for the government to tell me it's a good idea (which they will never do, of course).
Anyway, bravo. Keep well and keep on keepin' on...slowly.
Glad to hear it, Jeff. It's been literally pointless for a while. We just had to break what had essentially become a bad habit.
I just keep connected with peeps here. I only write on my own websites (in an attempt to keep things as indie as possible). Do you know about the social platform I built at jacklowe dot com a couple of years ago? You'd be most welcome if you fancy taking a look.
Well. That's an interesting option. I'm in the middle of joining up. So far I don't have my email link from the site, but I'll be on there as soon as the technology and I are able to make peace.

Thanks, Jack. I, too, just left my last social media besides here. I've become deeply embittered about the conversation on sm and everywhere else
