Don't. Just don't.
Social media has proven to be a least common denominator gutter that worships outrage and chumbox spam. Either have bots make the snausage by filling the world with crap for money, or be at peace without approval in relative obscurity with worthwhile content and less money. There's not much middle-ground because it's half-stepping to not go all-in and focus one way or the other. Personally, IDGAF and would do the latter if I was forced to but don't really care what random, cyberdisinhibited people think because it's usually time-wasting noise.
- fxtentacle 6y agoHaha you nailed it :) I was thinking exactly the same before I clicked the link to open the discussion. EDIT: That said, if you like brainless Zombies, I heard that Instagram can be good for dating. Just go to a cafe every day and post a picture of your mug, to prove to the world that you're rich and have lots of free time.
- rimliu 6y agoIt's up to you how you are using the tools. I use instagram to share the photos I took. Some people like them. Not liking social media is not yet on the level if "I do not read books" smug superiority, but getting there. Believe it or not there are things that are good on social media. Even on FB. E. g. in my country a grassroot initiative to help medics with PPE started by a celebrity raised more than two million euros in a month and purchased and distributed lots of so needed equipment. And, if you dislike social media that much, maybe you should not comment on HN either.
- nl 6y agoYeah, it's funny how the people who critisize social media the most are the people who don't understand it at all. The machine learning Twittersphere remains one of the best places to learn machine learning tips. Insta is amazing for photography.
