The whole concept of influencers is bullshit. Stop allowing your opinions to be shaped by people who don’t even care that you exist.
And no I don’t just mean on those *other* social networks. I mean everywhere. Here included. Here especially.
@InvaderXan
Yes, it's why I stopped following the news so avidly. "I will read some words that exist and then be angry." Not helpful at all, stops me from seeing past all of that. Self-inflicted.
@scribe More than the news, I’ve made a point recently to try and avoid those social media accounts who seem to post very little other than things to be angry about. Which... just... ughhhh.
@InvaderXan
Yes! I've started doing the same from this account. Filtering by emotion is better than by hashtag...
@InvaderXan here especially because this place has an inherently warped perception of the line between 'interaction' and 'friendship'. Every interaction means more here.
@canary Yeah, and I think it takes a little time to adjust to that difference.
@InvaderXan does somebody do that on purpose? I'm aware I'm influentiable, but I've never tried to be. I guess it would require some amount of active resistance
@matias93 On purpose? I’m not sure. But it’s probably wise to be wary of people who tell others what their opinions should be.
