Good Morning newsfeeed!
I am getting off of facebook. For real.
I am tired of feeling like my mind and soul are constantly under attack by mental and spiritual manipulation. It's all just become a jumble of loud and harsh noise and it's hard to hear my own thoughts if i spend any significant aount of time here... much less the Holy Spirit.
This arena is no longer one where I have any confidence that we can make any tangible difference in the world, if it ever even was. The algorithm determines who we see, who sees us, who sees which posts and why... this AI knows the sins we struggle with and our habits better than most of us know ourselves. There was a time where it felt like a balanced microcosm of humanity that we could interact with on here. It mostly feels at this point like its both an echo chamber and a cage match, set up to either trigger us with extreme polarization, or else we are just preaching to the choir and patting each other on the back. All of the middle-ground, reasonable, fence sitters of humanity are in this fantasy, AI protected cocoon and your bellowing of truth isnt going to be the spark of light that changes them... likely because they won't ever even SEE your heartfelt, epic "truthing" posts.
We are all just being used as pawns against each other and to continue enabling a bunch of wicked pied pipers to sell humanity its own destruction.
I want to stay focused on our Creator, my husband, my kids, my extended family, my close friends, and my farm + gardens. This place does not feed any of those connections, and far too often pulls me away from them.
I have known this for a long time, but was trying to figure out how to use this platform for some sort of good... or maybe just fooling myself into thinking the was even possible and because like most others who struggle with the double edge sword of social media, there is a FOMO when it comes to down to that always manages to pull me back. Facebook knows this, thats why they won't let you actually DELETE your account in those decisive moments. You have to let the crack pipe smolder for 30 days (and let the AI sift your account thoroughly) before you can be allowed to go.
I've also been putting off deleting my accounts for years because i have so much of my writing on them... I don't want to lose my journal. This week I will be going through my accounts and copying the important ones, then deleting all of my posts one at a time (Thanks Chris Mead for your constant simple genius solutions!).... after that i will be deleting all of my friends one at a time. That way I won't be so easily tempted to come back as well.
If you want to stay in contact please PM me your number or email address. I will be creating a new blog this week also, and possibly a rumble channel in the near future to post videos about YHWH, spoken word, homeschooling, homesteading, art, music, activism, and life. If you'd like to be tagged in the post sharing that info, PM me or comment on this post.
