Scooter :polyamoryFlag:Thinking about finally ending my <a class="hashtag" href="https://labyrinth.zone/tag/forums" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forums</a> . I considered it a great idea and still do; <a class="hashtag" href="https://labyrinth.zone/tag/socialmedia" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> at the time, even pre-Musk, was terrible and I had the ability to create something better - so I did. I then learned that many, many people were simply unwilling to abandon the social structures they actively professed to hate, and I still don't know why that is. Yes, there's a critical mass that must be achieved, but doing so is impossible if one doesn't join the mass themselves. I think like that - not only in social media, but in politics, music, and so on - but most people do not. Engineering such solutions is relatively easy, but people are not as logical as systems, and I'm not a psychologist. At least not a good one. <a class="hashtag" href="https://labyrinth.zone/tag/forum" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forum</a>
