I decided to get rid of my BlueSky account the other night. That website reeks of performative activism, cancel culture, and political derangement syndrome. I can't handle it anymore. I think it may have become the new Twitter/X or something. I thought I was stupid when interacting with some of the people there.
I don't want to waste anymore of my time doom scrolling through posts uploaded by miserable people talking about the current state of the world. I'd rather be spending my time either working on my art, listening to music, or chatting with one of my online friends on Discord.
You made the right decision of avoiding the news altogether. Every single major news outlet where I am is covering president you know who and I'm getting sick and tired of hearing his name over and over again for the past almost 10 years now.
As someone who no longer wants to be involved in politics left or right, it was really difficult for me to have a good time there. I tried filtering out certain words and phrases from my feed, but that didn't do enough to hide the political slop that I didn't want to see. And some of the artwork that I uploaded there was labeled as "adult content" by some moderation bot.
Though the internet sure does push plenty of it through, regardless.
