I decided to go old school.
Back to the basics of blogging, on the least complex site I could find.
I haven't written anything in quite a while, but have the itch to send some thoughts into the ether.
Social media is becoming a drag, both Facebook and Instagram are riddled with advertisements and "suggested" posts from people I don't follow. When you're not very active on Facebook, it starts to suggest some really strange things, like a desperate child trying to get your attention.
Hey! Look at me! Over here!
No.
You're a toxic time suck.
Instagram is going to use everyone's images to train AI. Neat.
Side note: I investigated another platform for my shiny new blog, and aside from it being way more than I need they kept trying to shove AI tools in my face at every turn.
No.
What about Substack? They coddle Nazis, so I'm not too keen on that either. I've got extensive archives of my newsletter there, and they'll be available for anyone interested in reading past missives. I got pretty burnt out writing those every week and am not interested in going back to that format.
Just a good ol' blog for me, thanks.
See you again soon!
