I have been using FB and IG for more than 15 years, mainly as a promotion channel for my books and my art - with modest impact on my success. The quality of the content has been going down steadily. I started exploring the dark corners of Facebook and was shocked by the right wing, fascist posts and Russian propaganda. Last October, I pulled the plug, I left Facebook, I left Instagram, and I’m just in the process of leaving WhatsApp. Liberating!
Anyway… this is useless science for humanity. Let’s focus on saving the species that are still alive.

If anyone as a result gets a lot of down votes, they should perhaps create more content that I like? Just a suggestion.

I have left Reddit, Facebook, insta, and I have warned all connections on WhatsApp that, starting may 1st, I can only be reached by sms, Threema or signal. It’s up to them then.
