Social Media & Social Networking, has been around for at least 20 odd years. In fact I first got on board with it back in the 90s with something called “Friends Reunited”, which was very basic but served a purpose in letting people get in touch with old schoolmates and work colleagues. I don’t think it was geared towards current affairs, and by and large it was a very friendly place… that is until Fuckbook came along and there ended Friends Reunited.
But even Fuckbook back in the early days was quite a decent experience before the arrival of broadband. And spending hours sitting in front of a computer was no longer seen as belonging to the realm of saddo IT geeks and nerds.
But over the last 5 years or so Fuckbook, Twitter and all other major social media sites have become nothing more than political platforms, mostly dominated by the woke Left. And that if anything remotely controversial comes along it is debated on social media by these myopic cunts. And once that debate gets too heated, or goes in the opposite direction of where the woke moderators/influential members want it to go, then lots of people end up getting banned, or go flouncing to other social media sites moaning how they were bullied and oppressed by the mods from Twitter etc.
For example, I used to be a member of DigitalSpy. Signed up in 2007, and for a good 10-12 years it was a great forum to be on, with fair-minded moderators and users who generally towed the line.
But then come 2018 all that changed. New moderators came in (probably promoted), and the woke agenda arrived. These new mods loved the power to ban, or to warn users over the most slightest of provocative comments.
It was clear the new mods were protecting certain long-standing members and allowing them to get away with saying whatever they wanted. But if any other poster took an opposing view, no matter how slight, they got a warning or were perma-banned (which is what happened to me in December 2020, when I suggested Biden was a mere puppet to Kameltoe!)
And now of course social media seems like an oxymoron – it is no longer “social” at all. Instead it is a place where one set of people will throw shit at other people and vice versa. People who don’t like something will be hammered by those that do. Say something out of turn and you’re slammed and banned!
Anything said by anyone is constantly under scrutiny by people with far too much time on their hands. These cunts devote their lives looking for some juicy gossip or alt-right commentary, and take it completely out of context and post it on their Fuckbook/Twitter page in order to grab attention and cause more uproar, while they sit back looking extremely smug for being a sad toxic cunt!
I guess my point is that over the last 10 years social media/networking has turned us into cynical, embittered and angry cunts. Not helped by a similar attitude with MSM, which seems to be more and more influenced by social media commentary & tin-pot influencers.
And it will only get worse as we become more absorbed into the (cancel) culture and dependency of social media and how it is brainwashing the stupid, the young and the easily confused.
