Thank you Leo for bringing to light the boggling question that is always there but, in my case at least, largely ignored. I give myself 6,000 points for ceasing to use an addictive site and glibly explain away why I try another, fully knowing its inherent ugliness.
My Dell all-in-one desktop computer's on/off switch is about the size of the exposed lead on a Dixon Ticonderoga pencil, 4B. One has to search to find and push it.
Ah, interesting to see you bring up some of the social media sites I've just only now heard of. After Zuckerberg's weirdo speech about the new changes, I feel a couple of things: Grossed out by the weird arguments made and his tone. I also feel confused on the topic of censorship on FB. I'm not sure to what degree it was happening because all I saw were posts that had a label on that warned that the information contained was false. Is that what folk are referring to as censorship? Or is there more to it? Anyway, I opened a Mastodon account and it was vast and hard to find my friends on it. Where I'm at so far is: I want to help tank stocks in FB and deprive Zuck of some money. And yet my peeps are on FB..so I figure if I limit my time on there to 10 mins/day, then I'll see my peeps and not be watching so many ads that contribute to the revenue stream.
Rachel, I think we are all in similar boats. I am hoping to put together some framework that makes sense for a lot of people for next week's OTGC! If you have any ideas, let me know. In the meantime, I am https://mastodon.social/@joelbarker
