I HATE SOCIAL MEDIA

One of my primary reasons to make this blog was because of how much I detest social media. And yes, the word “hate” comes very short.

To begin with, humans are NOT made to get that much information at once, our brains cannot process everything going on out there in the world, and I cannot stand the ways in which my feelings get played with. AHHHHHH!!!

There's just too much, from scum/scammers, being emotionally manipulated, everyone pretending to be politically correct, extreme violence all the time, beggars without any dignity that think they're entitled to other people's success or/and time, the constant recording of strangers outside for whatever stupid reason for an ounce of virality, the righteous people with their superior morality… I HATE IT. I HATE. I HATE IT SO MUCH.

I also HATE how my creativity is compartmentalized into a tiny box, with character limits and moderation that often doesn't get tone, sarcasm or just jokes. I HATE how everything needs to be a trend or something built to appeal for brainrotted people. I HATE that the only way to be heard is by infantilizing information on extreme levels of descriptive content. I HATE how much it's become that an online amount of followers equals someone's contribution to the world. I HATE that everyone is supposed to just have an opinion forever and the little room there is to simply change options as well. I HATE that faceless idiots think they can say whatever they want without facing consequences (I'm talking about death, rape and other types of threats, also things like telling people to kill others or harm them on their attemps to feel like a good person.)

I HATE that the majority of users aren't even REAL humans to begin with. I HATE that everything is made and written to simply achieve shock value. I HATE that opinions are deemed as facts just because someone is screaming “trust meeee!” or something IRRELEVANT to the supposed topic.

I HATE that people aren't simply doing things and are obsessed with doom scrolling without any real goal just to pretend they're doing something while solely getting emotionally triggered by the things presented to them. WITHOUT REAL CHANGE!!! JUST KEYBOARD WARRIOR BEHAVIOR. EWWWWW!!!

I HATE SIMPLISM. I CANNOT STAND SOCIAL MEDIA. I HATE FEELING LIKE I HAVE TO TALK DOWN TO PEOPLE BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY ARE ACCESSING INFORMATION.

Sure, there's good things, but in general, that doesn't override how much I cannot stand those platforms and applications. My target audience is definitely people who are looking for long-content formats or looking for ways to cope with the world without the social media polarization and nonsense.
