My New Digital Home

[embracingcalm]

 I’m going to move over to exclusively using Dreamwidth.   I really appreciate that there is so little AI and reposts here.  plus, as I’ve mentioned before the lack of word count limits allow for more self expression.  I just really enjoy reading about people’s lives and other platforms don’t allow for that.   I do wish there were more people here to get to know but sometimes less is more.  I’m also tired of the constant political posts elsewhere.   I feel like people have exchanged meaningful action through things like sustained boycotts, community volunteer opportunities and reducing energy usage for online virtue signaling via rage posts.  I’m not sure what the solution for our current issues here in the US are, but it certainly isn’t making rage posts on pages that line the pockets of the people in charge.

I feel so thankful and lucky due to not really being sick anymore but every time I log onto one of those places it zaps the energy from me.   it’s too fast, too short, too divisive, there’s too much AI and not enough human thought.   It sort of reminds me of that sci-fi trope where psychics go crazy becuase they can hear everyone’s internal monologue and have no means to control it.  

It’s quieter here.   I like that.  We need spaces that encourage us to think more not less.
