I'm curios why you are avoiding social media?

  Its a scam

  Mostly because the "damn this is interesting" to "i don't care what you ate yesterday" ratio is not good enough to spend my time on it. These days I am much more enjoying exploring gopher holes, reading and writing blog posts. For realtime communications, I prefer IRC. For me, social media sits in between chatting and publishing content and is therefore neither fish nor fowl.

    > For realtime communications, I prefer IRC. How on earth do you get people to talk in IRC? Am I missing something? Almost every channel I have joined is dead silent, and any time I tried starting a conversation I felt like I was asking Lebowski for my money.

  Because there’s little good about it

  I do NOT consider the Fediverse and the myriads of implementations of it to be social media, but rather a social web. More like websites with the abilities to communicate and interact in different and interesting ways. Social media is dead, and has been for a while. Many use it still, but it is not primarily social. The social part was mainly a ploy to get peoples attention and then badly abusing it in ever more creative and sinister ways. EDIT: This comment was meant to be posted to the parent comment!

    Email the mods and ask them to detach and relocate it.

  > I'm curios why you are avoiding social media? You make it sound as if that's undesirable.
