Quitting social media

Ever heard of Tumblr? Just a suggestion.

 

This kinda reminds me of how my mother in law started smoking after 10+ years with the thought that she could get me wife to quit by quitting with her. Now they're both on "Twitter," dammit.

 

Welcome to the new heaven, which is the same as the old heaven, interrupted briefly by the dark ages of social-media hell. I will never get those years back, but I have saved many years to come.

 

Still on social media but I’ve increased my efficiency tenfold by just posting a bunch of tweets.

 

Twitter sucks. I use it only as a content repeater. Possibly a poor business move for me, but reading the outrage and fauxrage is a poor personal move for me.

 

Counterpoint:

 

Twitter is awesome for too many reasons to list. If you can’t handle or avoid the pitfalls that can spring up, it says more about you than the platform.

 

Twitter is what you make it. If you follow the right individuals and institutions it's a wonderful source of information.

 

Will be interested to see if she holds herself to this.

I think it would be hard, without going cold turkey.

But, as much shit as she gets, I could see why she'd want to step back.

 

Yesterday was a bleeding hemorrhoid kind of day on Twitter (and FB, I suppose).

We can't build that national fainting room fast enough.

 

There be ghosts 'round these parts.

If you're quick enough, you can see 'em!

 

Dammit, I blinked and missed it!
