I have been avoiding any and all social media. Basically since Corona hit. Being essential services in the finance industry means work was crazy in ways that I legally can't talk about.

Then the US went full retard and people showed the level of blind ignorance and stupidity that just had me at my wits end.

I mean 3 years ago supporting the apricot autocrat had some merit there was hope and potential mixed in with the conspiracy theories about fake news. But now I feel like his supporters will see him shoot a new born in the face in front of them and they will say it was fake news or that the newborn deserves it.

So rather than put myself in a social bubble I just removed myself from everything. So I don't know about that thing that everyone is talking about at all

This forum is pretty much Trumper free, there is a thread, but we only had one looney-toon posting MAGA shit.

That's all well and good and it's fine to remove the idiots but then you place yourself in a social bubble and allow them to spread their idiotic vitriol to impressionable people.

You don't start out life as a racist or a trump supporter, you start life as a gullable yungling who learns from mistakes not to be gullable.

So while I have been avoiding social media I have also been awarded reddit gold for being helpful and started streaming pogo.

So I am not sure what counts as social media anymore
