The prime way I communicate online is through my blog here on WordPress and through social media. I have accounts on Threads, BlueSky, Instagram and the venerable Facebook. Email is a more thorough and personal way of connecting with others and to receive notifications about important things. Having a cellphone means texting too.

Algorithms can take your mind prisoner.
Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, What’s App, and Threads. I am on all three platforms and I won’t be dropping any of them. I rely upon Facebook to keep up with family, friends, and other stuff I am interested in. Threads, the Twitter replacement is a great place of connection and communication. I stay connected to pro wrestling there. Instagram has a purpose for visual expression and communication.
Yes, Meta’s chief Mark Zuckerberg’s business and ethical dealings are very suspect. We have seen what he has done in eliminating fact-checking and DEI initiatives. Sure some of his decisions are disappointing. The platforms his company has created are vital for many to keep in touch. Sure I can moderate my usage and tweak the settings so that I won’t bothered with stuff I don’t want to see.
Until someone can create a viable replacement with the same social reach as Facebook then I won’t be leaving. Nor will I leave Instagram or Threads. Hopefully, in the coming years, we will have that option.
It appears Facebook is having some problems today. The glitch is affecting Instagram and Threads too. MySpace here’s your opening.
The new Threads social platform from Meta/Facebook/Instagram has hit the desktop so you can access it from a browser on your PC or Laptop. I believe this is what a lot of people were waiting for before fully adopting this new service and possibly replacing its rival X/Twitter. I am using it on my phone but It should be easier to post using my computer.

It’s time for former president Trump to go away forever. He has done a great deal of damage to our country in almost all parts of our national life. He is not a true Republican or Conservative because they would not do the crimes he is accused of my friends. He is something way more heinous. So many people have suffered under him.
Three indictments, 2 impeachments, and the loser of the 2020 election he has proven he is not worthy of holding any office ever again. He must go away preferably to a federal prison.
