Bye, Jack. You can go fuck yourself.
It wasn't the general rise in the level of toxicity over the last eight years, or the constant stream of daily st00pid that manifested there that did it—especially after I stopped following pretty much anything politically focused weeks ago. It was today's news that Twitter had updated its "hateful conduct" rules, which—starting immediately—ban "dehumanizing language" on the "basis of religion." So now, in other words, it will no longer be acceptable to call stupid Christians Stupid Christians…or to make fun of someone's belief in 3-day-old risen zombies. Or God [irony] knows what else. They should've called it what it is: The No Blasphemy Rule.
Racism and the rest of right wing neo-nazi hate speech is apparently still okay, but now God [irony] forbid you should make a disparaging comment about someone's belief in magical invisible sky fairies.
So instead of being ultimately booted off for being mean to some snowflake believer, I'm choosing instead to leave on my own terms. I guess I'll just have to live without Vaca Muerta Estates and the Apple Anon community.
So fuck you, Twitter.
And now that just leaves me Instagram.
Never found a reason to enlist in the first place.
Now they are all justifying my feelings that they are just a bunch of trolls looking for information that I really do not want to divulge.
And I have many friends who feel exactly the same way.
Joiners are deserving of their needs for being a part of something that is not really who they are.
The social media companies are really losing their minds. This one pushed me over the edge as well. I gave up on Instagram a few days ago. Now Twitter is off the devices and I will be marking my account for deletion.
