Well, it’s been a few days or so since Twitter and Mastodon both have suspended my accounts. Normally I would be freaked out over this since social networks are the easiest ways to find interesting content to follow. But this morning I was just thinking… am I really missing an opportunity to hunt down content that appeals to me? There are other methods such as simply searching Google or other search engines, and RSS aggregators like Feedly. I think instead of allowing myself to get into a fog over not having access to my social network pages, I just turn focus to more traditional ways of finding content.

All that money I would be paying Twitter (X) for a check mark, and some extra features, can now be put toward building my own website. Mastodon isn’t really a great standard for following content… at least not yet. I’m definitely not missing anything there except a few XXX pages I had found. I still have several Twitter accounts, but I’m not sure that I’m even going to continue using them. As for Mastodon, I doubt it will be very hard to set up another account there if I decide to give it another try. I’ll just have to create another email address for that if I do. The thing about Mastodon though is that it seems to be inhabited by the woke mob and fucking trannies, and I don’t know if it’s worth trying to get back on Mastodon or not. I’m sure it was a tranny in Canada that got my account suspended over words. Fuck that bitch.

At any rate, I’m feeling skeptical about social networks right now. Are they really worth fucking with if you can’t avoid suspensions over non-pc bullshit, and find it difficult to build a following? I’m sure I’m going to reach a point where I’ll feel the need to try Mastodon again. Who knows? I do like that Mastodon has a easy link verification process. I’m probably going to give Mastodon another try with a new account, but I think I’ll stand down and away from it for awhile to give myself some time to cool off after my account was suspended.
