Lots of changes

This is a bit different from my usual posts

Because of the announced changes of the company Meta regarding factchecking, discrimination, hate-speech etc. I have thought a lot about my social media use over the last couple of days.

I have deleted my blog on Facebook and am going to delete one of my two private profiles there soon. (I am keeping the other one for some contacts, for now.) I have already left Instagram ca. two years ago.

Today, I have deleted all of my content on Youtube because I am annoyed by all the ads there. Guided meditation or ambience videos are no fun if they get interrupted by ads. Thanks, if you have watched any of my videos there, I appreciate that.

I am planning to stay on the Fediverse instance pagan.plus - https://pagan.plus/@siochanta - and here on Substack. I want to blog here once or twice a month. I am also on Tumblr, but not very active there.

In case you are thinking about how to use your social media differently or maybe not use some of them any more, I can very much recommend a documentary on Netflix:
”The Social Dilemma” (from 2020, but still mostly up to date). It offers some interesting insights into the workings of the big commercial social media, about psychological and political effects on their users and more.

Here is a link to the IMDB-page of the documentary with a trailer:

My next blog is going to be about a witchcraft/pagan topic. I wish you well and stay safe out there.
