I use Telegram for messaging regularly with my partner and closest friends.

I'd take that as a warning.
There's no shortage of wackjobs out there.

Nah, we’ve talked about it, and it’s more the other way around: you can quietly follow what you want to follow, without getting slammed by bullshit. She worries that this would all change if Tumblr shot up in popularity, and she’s right.

i get what she's saying now. it apparently peaked 11 years ago and then yahoo bought it. that's probably when i started associating it with exploitation. the main thing is you got eyes open.

This was posted on the FB PRF page, and I confirmed it elsewhere, but Meta changed its “community standards” three days ago to permit harassment of LGBTQ people.

I just canceled WhatsApp. FB and everything else is following in a few days. Fuck these people.

Trying to limit my social media to that and then start participating more here, which was pretty much my online presence pre-COVID.

Cheers.
