Zuckerberg Break

So even if you don't use TikTok, the banning that is happening in the US is a big deal. Zuckerberg hasn't been able to copy and make his own apps a success so instead he lobbied the government to shut down a big competitor: TikTok. He thought that people would flock back to his apps which make him a billionaire, but instead people are screwing Zuckerberg and not returning. Many TikTok users, millions of people aren't going back to him or Elon. Loser Zuck has also said there will be no more fact checking so Facebook is going to be a cess pool of misinformation and hate. So I'm going to do my part cause I think it sucks. Let me be clear, this isn't about TikTok, it can happen to any app that is seen as a threat to helping people communicate. It's a very scary precedent that has been set, I don't think many everyday people realize the consequences.

I know many people avoid TikTok but after Twitter was burned to the ground by Elon, people found a place to communicate, laugh, share, and educate all on TikTok. Something will replace it, maybe not to the popularity TikTok has, but I still think it is pretty shitty a billionaire can do this. It's actually quite sad for our non MAGA American friends down south. Even as a Canadian, I want the best for everyone.

So I'm going to uninstall Facebook, Messenger, Threads and Instagram from my devices for a bit. I already ditched WhatsApp a long time ago when they screwed with that and figured out how to monetize your chats. Instagram is so sad anyway, every bloody post is an ad. My time is spent making money for Meta skipping ads when all I want to see is posts from people I choose to follow, friends and family. Any engagement, even a view is money in Meta's pocket.

People who know me, know that I'm a big proponent of Telegram. So that is where I'll be. I will be posting stories there and honestly, I'm fine with sharing with those that want to follow me. I'm not on social media for the clout or the followers. But Meta has turned social media less social and more about business and making them and shareholders money.

I have also started sharing on YouTube shorts about reducing my damn belly fat. So there is that too. Like, Follow, and Subscribe.

I know I'll be in touch with those that want to reach me and who I want to reach out to. I know out of site, out of mind, but I'm around. Here are a bunch of ways to reach out and stay connected.

Telegram

There are a few channels I have on there:

• I post Travel Stuff here.
• I stream stuff when I'm 3D Printing here.

YouTube

And of course here! This is a more passive route, I really post here for my Nana, and as I age, to record memories that I'm worried I'll forget. You can subscribe if you want. I only send the email notification when I feel the post is worthy of your time.
