A Bold Move?

In the era of Facebook, Snapchat and all of the others that absorb the electronic time of millions, blogs have largely fallen by the roadside as a technology that no one wants to play with. That suits me just fine. As the blog gives its author complete control over their content, without out added violence, advertising or data collection. The blog allows for the sharing of information, the ability of the reader to respond, and others to respond to them.

No, it is not truly interactive in the manner of Facebook, but the apathy of Facebook's management towards the criminal activity that goes on daily on it's platform makes me want to distance myself further from the monster that is Meta.

As a result I am going to try to post things here in my blog instead of adding information to Meta's data set. If it works well I may be stepping away from Meta completely.

The reasons are varied and can be complicated but Meta has over the years proven that they do not give two craps about their users. That and the fact that Facebook has slowly made the environment toxic, erasing the greys that should exist in our world in favour of hard blacks and whites in issues far and wide generating enmity even between those that have been friends for decades.

While you may come across strong opinions on this page you can be sure of a few things;

1) Any deeply held opinion of this author has been researched, experimented with or from direct experience. I will never re-post false information or fake news.

2) I am always open to other opinions, other people's opinions are never wrong, they are opinions. However, facts are the bottom line. In order for me to change my opinions I require proof, not other opinions. But I will accept truths.

3) I will not debase others.

Let's give it a try, what do you say?
