You really need to, man. It's just not worth it.
~bartender Can I have a coffee? Black and large, please.
It really isn't. The real shame is: there's now no other way of keeping in touch with the world not-so-around you. There was a time I'd follow interesting people, artists, developers, techies, even small businesses of stuff I like. Recipes. Projects for the greater good, businesses that have a mission to improve the world. People that teach stuff online. Respectful parenting tips. It was good. It was nice.
But now, even these nice people need to succumb to shitposting. Even these nice people need to shitpost to stay relevant.
Thanks, ~bartender.
I hate it. I have removed all social media from my phone. I only browse Reddit on a basic front-end I have built and Hacker News. But I'm losing stuff. I'm not getting when band X is playing in town. I'm not getting when my favourite tattoo artist is in town. I don't know if band X launch a new album.
It sucks.
It sucks that there's all there is. It sucks that we can't really federate.
It really sucks.
