On day two of no Meta platforms. I can't say I'm using the Internet less, or anything as profound as that, but I feel almost empty without the constant bombardment of (mis)information. I am worried I'm missing important news, but I spent some time yesterday bookmarking sources that I can trust that are off platform. The difference is that I have to seek out the news instead of having it handed to me and christ, I hope I can keep up.
Like, I knew that the platforms weren't reliable places to get updated info on stuff, or to safely gather for an IRW protest, so I wonder exactly how much I might have missed even if I was on right now, anyway. Probably the same amount. The only difference is that I'm not getting distracted by a million videos and ads while I search.
Silly shit, I suppose. I just wish I didn't feel like I was abandoning the fight.
