Made some art today, to get out my feelings about #deletefacebook. I've been writing about the experience, too, to understand how I feel.

Tomorrow is delete day, and I think I'm at peace with any social repercussions that might occur. What's more important is the message.

I glitched a prose piece I wrote through Audacity. It made me wonder what all my social data would sound like, glitched in this way.

"deleting yourself forever" : forever is not forever.

Would it be right to say that a lot of old Chinese poetry has pretty much gone from being perfectly rhymed Robert Frost poems to being weirdly rhymed Emily Dickinson poems?

this understanding is new..

Me reading The Hunger Games in 2008: wow what a crazy, unrealistic story

2018: children are going to the capital to fight for their right to not be murdered by each other and a creepy looking TV star is there pretending like nothing is wrong

I agree.

In my experience, there are things we can do to make life more fulfilling. They might not always lead to what's externally considered 'success' or 'excelling', but things like small kindnesses make us more human and happier.

I guess that's where the interpretation of 'mediocrity == stalled self-development' makes a lot of sense.

We can be choose to be better even if it doesn't necessarily mean 'winning everything'

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

Poll about whether you thought this was gonna be about Animal Crossing or Assassin's Creed lol

Every time I see someone talk about an "AC game" I think it's about Animal Crossing and it never is.

Assassin's creed should just be abbreviated AssC tbh. Because those games are assy.

toot!

Hey the #Fediverse, still looking for someone with #N26 banking app installed on #Android without #GApps (or someone who knows how we can bypass #GMaps dependency)...

Boost appreciated, as usual 👌
