Update: Deactivated Facebook Account. Find me on Bluesky and THIS website

Quick update. I deleted and/or deactivated all of my social media apps other than Bluesky.

I will also maintain and update my blog here at my website at www.scottmccullar.com more often.

Last night I deactivated Facebook after previously deactivating Threads and Instagram about a week or so ago. Mainly due to Facebook turning into what feels like 85% ads and groups it is suggesting for me in my feed to join and the lack of interaction with family and friends dwelling. Rarely seeing posts now. Plus the rarities of responses to my posts getting almost no interaction. Plus Mark Zuckerburg's latest decisions to cozy up to Trump didn't help.

I just had enough. 

For now, unless it turns into a shit show, I will only use for the foreseeable future Bluesky as I mentioned.

The Times They Are a Changin' on Social Media

I'm rethinking my approach to using social media and use of the Internet itself with all the changes going on in the world and out here in cyberspace.

I left Twitter/X a few months ago thanks to Elon Musk turning it into a shit pile.

I barely use Instagram.

I'm not and have never been on Tiktok. I never will.

I'm not on Mastadon or whatever.

I did open an account on Blue Sky, but it really isn't working to well for me to connect and/or interact with others.

Over a year ago, I got onto Threads. I didn't use it for most of the year. Then after leaving Twitter, I started using it more. I've met a few new online friends, but 97% of the folks on here I do not know and I have conversations for a moment and then poof, they are over. I've had some negative experiences there with some people. I don't know how much longer I can stay on there.

Which leads me to Facebook...

I've been on Facebook for almost 20 years. I was originally on there to connect with family and friends. Most have gone silent. It is mostly ads and groups now. The only reasons I've been on there was to keep in contact with my mother to interact and to promote my comic book projects. 

Which leads me here...

I'm thinking about leaving social media all together at the end of February and just making this website and blog my only online footprint out there for others to follow me or connect.

Anyone here reading this? If so, give me a shout out!

 

 

Social Media Update: Deactivated my Twitter "X" Account. Now I'm on Bluesky and Threads

I joined the exodus and ditched the garbage heap "X" that Elon turned Twitter into. 'Nuff said. 

 

I just joined Bluesky this week and I'm now over at https://bsky.app/profile/scottmccullar.bsky.social

 

I'm also on Threads. I've been there for a while. I'm there at https://www.threads.net/@ryanscottmccullar
