Life was better when I used one social media which was YouTube. Life was even better when I didn't use any social media at all and just watched TV

For my birthday today… I deleted the Facebook account I created in September to access Marketplace. It served its purpose. I was going to sell other things but never got around to it. Then friends started requesting to be friends. It was awkward. I didn’t accept any requests and even made one post on my profile that I wouldn’t be friending anyone.. that it was only for Marketplace. People still requested…

Then a colleague/friend passed away and I missed an RSVP because someone sent me the message on FB rather than real life even though we weren’t FB connected and hadn’t communicated on there for years. This is what happens when people treat FB like the entirety of “the internet” and “communication”. I have a website with my name and phone! My address is not hard to search. Email!?

I was angry and sad about that. 😢

So ya… if I do the Marketplace thing again I’ll just make a temp account and delete it after use, like a single use plastic bag to pick up dog poop. 💩 🤣

In the meantime I’ll keep focusing on good people here on the #opensocialweb… and also connecting with people in real life.

Most of the 48 years I have spent on this earth have been without Facebook. I’ll manage :)

Richard Simmons died last week at the age of 76 after a lifetime of making people smile and never letting the perfect be an enemy of the good.

Faced with #ToxicSocialMedia and #politics, we might do well to reflect on the good he had to offer.

Careful #Meta

You may regret not promoting the #intern by the looks of things.

#TickTok vs. #Meta 👀👀

I am sure his #SchoolTraining and #ExIntern at #Facebook helped shape his opinions on how to do a successful #SocialMedia operations vs. #Meta where he got to see up close and personal the fsck'd up things #AMER #ToxicSocialMedia can do to #Americans and everyone is else in the world at scale.

🔎 #BigTech has a #malware issue for 20+ years now but seldom does this get talked about in the #MainstreamNews #news except maybe in #infosec circles in hushed tones.

Don't forget. #InternetArchive & #VirusTotal has #receipts !!!! 🧐

JFC!

I _JUST_ learned about a VR product that is 10+yrs old today that is kicking the ass of #Meta's #Metaverse product point to point product wise which is $51 more expensive than the #MetaQuest2 named #PICO4 which is growing at a 3x rate of #Meta's flagship #Metaverse product and is waaaaay less expensive by 3x!!! #WSJ #SiliconValley #VR #MR #AR #Competition

Exec Summary: PICO is for Business
VR and Meta's VR product is just for games.

PICO has 250+ vs Meta's paltry 400 games for the place form and since they compete there is some gaming company software cross overs.

The _Best_ part is the #PICO4 has its _own platform_ that _doesn't require anything #Meta related_
( read: #ToxicSocialMedia or watch #Netflix's #TheSocialDilemma then rewatch #TheSocialNetwork , #DumbFSCKs) to function login wise.

O_o !!!! >.<

The absolute #high of being #free of #facebook for 7 weeks comes in these almost orgasmic rushes. I just saw the email notifications that there were posts there in the #kidsactivities groups, and realised I'm free to ignore them til February... I feel like lighting up. 💦😌🚬
