Considering the dwindling choices of any really good social media places, it's got me thinking the past few days of something. Do you ever think about the state of social media? It's sorta gotten worse as time has gone by. Like get this:
Twitter? Claimed by some loon who turned it into a nuclear wasteland, and now it's nothing but radiating zombies.
TikTok? Jesus Christ don't get me started.
YouTube? That one episode of TAWOG where Darwin causes entertainment to lose part of its joy. Also the fact that YouTube/Google is saying ad-blockers are bad.
Fortunately there's alternatives. Sure they may not be popular and mainstream, but maybe something that isn't popular might be suffice for someone. With the way I have things set up, I have Bluesky, Pillowfort, BitView, and Neocities (though this one is more for the creative side). There's also Gamebanana but that's for mainly mods.
Like I don't know. Maybe I'm just sorta seeing one side of it (granted maybe for not one of them and I think we can see why), and maybe there's some thin silver linings. Let me know if there's any sort of smaller details that may change this outlook.
Also I don't know how to make a BBS post so this is sort of the closest thing. LMK how BBS posts work!
