I want to move away from using meta apps and other social media. Unfortunately, I don't want to lose my archive of photos from the past 10+ years and manually archiving all that stuff will be a long task. I plan to do it eventually! I feel sad to potentially lose connection with some long distance friends and acquaintances, but at the same time maintaining those connections takes up mental space too. (In the sense that we infrequently communicate but always watch eachothers stories, ect) I miss the old days of internet (obviously, or I wouldn't be here heh) and I hope it can transform and move away from algorithms and ads, but with the current state of things I don't see that happening anytime soon (or ever really) unless people move away from using apps altogether. My hope is that maintaining and cobbling together this online space will be more of a labor of love and a creative outlet; different from my current relationship with social media. Anyway, I have a lot more thoughts on this but for now, this space will be a work in progress as I transition away from the evil leech that is meta.
