Clearly Meta didn’t like a documentary portrait of an anti-Nazi patch on a jacket last night. My account has been heavily shadowbanned for its politics and I do not have the followers here yet to get the word out. Please do so.

Omg I was just watching Three Colours: RED wow. Synchronicity

Most of my “followers” are on the conspiratory Meta. I am from an activist background and I utilize social to communicate. It’s now clear to me the algorithm is not kind to me for the reasons I thought long ago.

The zombies of post-democratic America are here. Social is circumspect but here I am.

With all of the social media platforms I forget which to post to.

Spending a decade to raise my followers on Meta and X to simply have jump ship.

Hope you all find over here, because as of Monday I may not be there.

I’m not sure that the development of social media by the original founders of social media is the “new way forward” but I certainly do not want a world that is controlled by one billionaire. So I am here. Hello Bluesky.
