Social media can be dangerous for democracy. I dumped Facebook in 2016 because I watched it, in real time, turn perfectly reasonable "friends" in to angry old cranks. Twitter is a great platform but it's fallen into the creepy hands of a grown man that acts like a trust fund teenager that just read Ayn Rand.

I'm personally finding I'm able to reconstruct in Mastedon a decent level of content curation that is as good as Twitter. And it's actually nice to start over now that I better understand what this medium is used for. I'm doing my part to fight fascism by voting with my feet. For the sake of democracy and lack of need, I am now Facebook and Twitter free. Invite everyone you know to use their free will.
