I realized that every time I composed a post, i was less thinking about what i have to say to my friends, and more thinking about things like "what censor will see this", or "will this get me banned", or any other number of unfun and agency-draining things.
Yer mums over here.
Or the reddit API shenanigans.

I joined Facebook back when you needed a .edu address, left because I hated it and I hated them stealing my data. I deleted my twitter after king bazinga bought it. Reddit was the API exodus, but the massive numbers of repost bots and awful liberals really had me tired of the fucking place for a long time before that.
After fully switching to Linux in 2022, I've pretty much ditched everything and anything mainstream; not just social media.
Socially I quit Facebook back when it was Facebook, when I was just starting to have extreme anxiety attacks because of repressed memories from my childhood and the people I had considered friends started spreading libelous claims behind my back and the fallout was either being unfriended by people that had been relatively close friends, and posts that I commented on became barren dessert's, it was obvious people were isolating me out, what I didn't know until much later, was that people were telling them I was a danger to others in whatever specific way would freak them out to make them isolate me. For instance some women were told I would sexually assault them if we were ever alone if they were particularly afraid of that, or they would say I would rape their kid's if I had alone time with them. The weirdest was that I like to rape old ladies because I like the texture of their paper thin skin. Weird fucking shit from very sick, demented minds. I was already having anxiety attacks because of having my face bashed in when I was 2yo by a cop, intentionally. So being further abused on Facebook was a no brainer on things I won't partake in. The truth is I wasn't a danger to anyone, but I know who it was saying those things about me, the police in my old town know who they are and they did nothing. I am definitely a danger to those people now. But I'm states away, so how much damage could Lil ol me really cause with a 3/4in thick, 6ft titanium rod...
