Day 1 on Pixelfed. Just me, a pizza, and the faint echo of decentralisation in the wind. 🍕📸
Saint-Tropez, L’Aroma — the last place I smiled before the algorithm stopped watching.

It’s quiet here. No likes, no followers, no data miners.
But someone in the group had to make the first move.

This is my soft break-up with Big Tech.
Let’s see what the Fediverse tastes like. Spoiler: so far, it’s pizza.

Detox Your Future Act 2 by French artist SNAKE @snakegraffiti at Forêt Communale de Saint-Brieuc, 4 Rue de Prague, 22000 Saint-Brieuc, Brittany, France in July 2021 for the festival @justpaintofficiel. Photos taken January 2025.

'Here is my last achievement for the Just do Paint festival. It's called "Detox youre future act. 2 "I made the first production with an identical character in profile at the Label Valette festival three years ago. So here is Act 2, view The Climate Emergency and the lack of political action by our leaders. This one represents a woman who holds the heart of the earth who only survives with a few sons. The key words that make up the character are:
-Action
-Choice
-Hope
-Emergencies
-Time.
Thank you to @just_do_paint and all the organization of the festival, which was very professional for the artists, with a selection of high-level artists and great human encounters. Thank you' @snakegraffiti October 14, 2020

Versuch 27.Mai 2025

Muss mal alles "abschalten".

Meine Privilegien sozusagen voll ausnützen
- momentan nicht zu einem Job zu müssen
- in einer Zone (noch) ohne Krieg zu leben
- Grundbedürfnisse kein Problem, alles ist da, alles funzt
- *wenn* ich mal unter Menschen muss gehöre ich (im Prinzip) nicht zu einer "Minderheit" die in der Regel angegriffen wird.

- Motorrad fahren, Bücher lesen, Ausflüge machen, 3DDruck, wer weiss...

Bis irgendwann wieder 🖖

Es reicht.

Wenn #ÖRR, dann nur noch #Arte. Ansonsten einfach direkt auslassen den Kasten.

Insbesondere Das Erste & @ZDF haben einen so abstoßenden Blaustich. Ich bin so müde.

Habe stattdessen verschiedene klassische gedruckte Zeitschriften & #Zeitungen für mich als Informationsquelle entdeckt. Gespannt, bei welchen Blättern ich dauerhaft bleibe. Entschleunigt aber schonmal ziemlich.

Den Rest macht #Musik. Save the #Vinyl.

Ich mach hier Mal ein #socialmedia #detox Monat. Die ganzen social Media Kanäle sind alle voll von Politik, negative Themen wie Indien Konflikt und schwarz weiß denken. Gibt nur noch gut und böse. Das ist nicht gut für meine psychischen Gesundheit. Ich nutze die Zeit lieber mit meiner #familie. Ciao

I will have to detox from so called "news" of "world brands" to some extent completely.

Even tumblr account I created to read content about witchcraft and paganism got completely stuffed by US politics, not speaking about Mastodon feed.

I need to completely crop US politics form my feed. Thinking about even blocking US pol tag.

The US news I need will be everywhere.

Research shows that taking breaks from social media does NOT improve well-being.

“The analyses revealed no significant effects of social media abstinence interventions on positive affect, negative affect, or life satisfaction."
