I started my journey of social media with Facebook. Used it for sometime and got fed up with it, and then I switched to instagram, only to find out that it's just bullshit too. So I went to twitter. And there I stayed for sometime. At least more than I stayed with instagram for sure. And I've used snapchat, G+ and tumblr, here and there too. But never liked them. So did not use any of those for more than two years. I used twitter for like two years, and finally got tired of it too. And one day I randomly came across this 'fediverse' thing I've never heard of it before to be honest. And then studied a little and finally made the switch, once and for all. And I've been using fediverse for sometime now. First made my mastodon.social account then made a GNU social account ( I liked the qvitter interface so much). And then moved my mastodon.social account to koyu.space one.( my current accoutn) and recently I made a qoto.org account too. So basically I use both these accounts simultaneously, and I post more daily/ random/ normal stuff on koyu.space.
Well just like the rest of the social media, now I am kind of feel like getting tired of the fediverse too. I don't know why. So far, compared to all the other social medias I ever used, fediverse is the best. I like it's concept of 'decentralization' and I like 'free speech' and the people. I've met so many friends there. From all over the world. India, USA, Germany, Italy and so on.
I am a pessimist by nature, so I sometimes act a little weird. And I find it annoying to see how many bad and toxic people are there. ( I am not talking about the fediverse ) And most of the times what pisses me most is, when people don't tolerate others' views and their freedom of speech. I don't mind if a certain person is a nazi or an anarchist, if they are a person, then they should have the freedom of speech. You can ignore them if you want, but you have no right to silence them.
In social media I see this quite a lot. And it's really hard to watch and slowly it drains my energy and will to use any social media. So I think I am very stupid to worry about things I don't have control over, I can't change how other people interact with different things, right. So I was stupid all this time to waste my energy on stupid shit like that. So I will just minimize my social media use, I will still be using it to get in touch with my friends, but that's it. May be I should convince all of my friends to be pen pals? I don't know I already share emails with some of my friends and it's really cool. And more relaxing than social media.
So that's it.
I know no one reads it this far anyway. HAHA but if you did you rather skipped the whole thing or you are just stupid.
Anyway thanks for checking out.
