Social media became a shitshow years ago. Facebook and Instagram got businesses hooked on free advertising, and it made a lot of sense for a while, getting visibility in the feeds of people who were actually interested in what we were posting about. But as the algorithm inexorably shifted to monetization (and “engagement” by making people angry all the time), it became clear that these (to say nothing of Twitter) are toxic platforms by design.
So we’re trying to break up with Zuckerberg. If you still find these spaces useful, we get it. No judgment. There are family members I still check on there, and friends who mainly communicate that way. We don’t want to cut off communication with you, either. Our plan is to post here on our own site, and repost to FB and Insta for a while yet. But the old-school way of actually going to a website to check on someone you’re interested in … we MISS that! So we’re going to try that.
