I'm an old Luddite, and I'm keeping Fb and X. [View all]

[Tom Dyer]

Please come at me if I’m wrong. I don’t pay for a blue check. I don’t think I pay a dime for these apps.
Facebook - I now live 7 countries away from friends I’ve had for 40+ years. It’s how we don’t leave each other’s memory. Your grand child is now bowling and the same age as when we met. I get video. For free. Crying, but I love it.
Back not that long ago, if you moved 25 miles away, it may have been Bulgaria. I’m in touch every day.
I’m not getting nefarious ads and subliminal posts from nazis. I’m just not.
Am I doing it wrong? Not trying to be funny.
If all of my oldster friends decided to leave here and go to another app when we honestly enjoy and don’t feel brainwashed, still vote all dem AFTER all the research and phone calls, that would be the end of something we all really enjoy. And if we’re going to be honest, we would screw it up so badly we would never hear from each other again. That would really, really suck.
No leopard yet.
