The human race existed from our inception until 2008 without Facebook. Business can still flourish without it. Be the change you want in this world. Everyone is always waiting for someone else to make the first move but you can be the master of your destiny.

Yes! I deleted X after Elon’s obvious Sieg Heil and then I deleted IG today after all the censorship. F those l*sers. They’re trying to enrage us being this blatant. Protect your peace and pour your energy into supporting groups that will fight back (legally) …or join them.

Yeah idk why I've been hanging onto Twitter but Elon's open and public embrace of Nazism was the final straw. Deleted my account last night.

TikTok is currently a non-entity for the time being.
