I like shitposting but I don't want to destabilize democracy while doing it so I'm coming back here.

How's it going?

Facebook was OK when it was THE Facebook and .edu. Didn't even used to be able to cross university lines.

I permanently deleted my account last Fall after watching 2 documentaries that further convinced me of what I already knew.

They have also been lying about the reach of their digital advertising which is how they make their money. So they're really just a bunch of liars who built a propaganda machine to get rich. What a garbage company.

got distracted

moved to Asheville and finished my degree
moved to NYC and went to grad school
moved back to Raleigh and got married to Greylin
started a career at a big open source software company
bunch of other stuff too

that ate up a decade of my life

but we're all under viral house arrest now and I don't want to post on Facebook anymore

I still only use Facebook for Groups. I have numerous shared interest groups that are very active and a few that I run. These are great and as long as you filter out politics on groups that are not related to it I think it is a great use for Facebook. But aside from that and posting pics of the kids for family, fuck the rest of it.

Yes, the groups worth exploring, also the Instagram. But now chatbots invade into Instagram as well.

should we make TWW flyers that position it as the "Facebook alternative" and drop them around campus?

Twitter and Clubhouse are slowly eating their user market, especially Clubhouse.

It'd be kinda funny to get actual college students signing up on TWW.

There are probably TWW users with kids at State by now

I mean if I mention "The Wolf Web" now most people assume I'm talking about my online furry community

and, of course, that is called something completely different

sounds like it's all audio-based though. so seems very different from other social media platforms, and not just "the next facebook" or whatever

It's a high-end invitation-only social platform, audio based. So your oral English communication skill has to be really good. It's a little bit like the audio version of Zoom, with groups of people in one room.

Sounds like it is appealing to sales bros. Or anyone who has spent a long time on a phone.

My English skills are solid as I am a professional writer but I don't want to be on a party line just talking. Like, sometimes I'm drunk. Besides, without people's faces I can't misinterpret what they're saying to me as effectively.

They have faces for sure. That's ur profile pic, just like Twitter. There's also bio and link to ur twitter or Instagram. You can also text, but mainly listen and talk. Truly exceptional.

My kid is one year from graduating HS. So theoretically if we make it to Fall 2022 mine could be! I think he wants to do the two years of community college and then transfer to save cash but who knows.

And Clubhouse became so popular in dictatorship countries like China because its freedom of speech that the government quickly banned it.

where do you live?

My wife works at a community college. I also attended one. They're great.

Your kid could get taught by a TWWer

To me, Facebook is the media empire of the 21st century built by Mark Zuckerberg preparing for his presidential running in the future, just like Bloomberg L.P.

Orange County just west of Carrboro. So Alamance and Durham Tech (both main campus and Orange Extension) are both local options for us.
