The internet has always been my salvation.
As a socially underdeveloped kid, I’d spend my lunch hours in the high school library on those public desktop computers, reading fandom sites about my favorite video games. Computers always made sense to me. I even owe my entire career to them.
But the internet today feels wrong. Whatever the fuck kind of psychological warfare is happening right now with this Epstein stuff is too much for my mind to handle. I can’t do it anymore.
I will love. I will vote. I will support my community and continue to oppose this fucking nightmarish system we all find ourselves in. But I need to sign off.
Imagine the door closing sound effect when logging out of AIM.
Every other post on this platform is political.
I really couldn’t care less about politics right now…
Please tell me if there is a way to turn off political stuff…
Unfortuntely, nothing fine-grained enough for me. But, you can block communities and users (or even whole instances).
I prefer the keyword filters on Mastodon, but I don’t mind the political stuff, so my needs are clearly different from yours.
