Not so social

I don’t use any social networking and haven’t for years, maybe a decade.

I did have a Myspace account once. I see that is still going, sort of, but my account is long dead.

I was on FaceBook for a time and had many real friends. I posted pictures and news, but eventually left. The advertising got intrusive, the scammers were a daily occurrence and, while I posted stuff, many of my friends did not, making it unfair and a bit one way. And my best friend on FB died, and that was a blow.

After I left, a couple of people, folk I had known for decades, got very nasty. Why had I unfriended them? I hadn’t, I just quit. They have refused to speak to me since.

Twitter was just the same with more hate and fake facts. I lasted a week.

I also looked at Bluesky, but really wasn’t interested. Can’t tell you anything about any of the others.

Daily life

We are always interested to see YouTube videos of people from around the world showing their daily lives. We take them on face value, and maybe that’s a mistake. we do know we will never be going there.
