Why don’t I post on social media
I'm on the Twitter Space right now. It's awesome.
I can only imagine what it would be like to be the first black owned billion dollar social media company. Someone is going to figure it out, and I'm rooting that you will be the one to figure it out. I may be a poor case study since I don't do social media. I only got on twitter in 2020 because I needed to know what was going on around the country, and I stay on there to figure out what is going on today. I can find out about information before everyone else due to the people I follow. I don't have a Facebook page and never have. LinkedIn is the only place you can find me, but people are afraid to speak on LinkedIn so I really don't use it.
There are several reasons why I haven't taken the time to post on this site, and others (such as Boyce's attempt, Tariq's attempt, some twitter guy's online forum, and NAAGA's site):
There are several reasons why I haven't taken the time to post on this site, and others (such as Boyce's attempt, Tariq's attempt, some twitter guy's online forum, and NAAGA's site):
- Interface:
- It takes a bit of time to find your way around given the different forums available. Where should I go, I guess I can post in all of them.
- Information:
- As I find my way around, is the information that I'm looking for readily available. Black news, relevant news, agent watch, etc.
- App:
- I know you are working on this, but how easy is it for me to get on and post/receive information. When I open twitter and/or instagram I get the information that I'm looking for (typically nothing - but stay with me) right away without having to click through things.
- Engagement:
- Social engagement is necessary. How do I find out when someone is engaging with my profile/posts? I don't need celebrities for social engagement.
Great feedback brotha. Are you interested in joining the app beta test?
I hardly make use of Facebook recently. It's full of kids and White agenda. I visit Instagram once in a while for business purposes. I feel more comfortable being on Twitter, although I try to stay out of savages on the space.
I haven't used Facebook since 2011 I think. I signed up, used it for a week, and then deleted my account. I used Twitter on and off over the years but at this point, I don't post or interact with people on there. I just use it to get news and see what is happening. My main account got banned back in 2017 I think. Claimed I was inciting violence. Yeah, sure I was.... They are so biased on there and so anti-black empowerment it is insane.
I still frequently use social media, but I rarely comment on anything. The way social media is these days it feels pointless to say anything, because there will always be those idiots who have to make an argument. Facebook is probably the worst out of them all, just the way people are on there, it's a never winning battle when you get into it with others. I just have it for my close friends and family, the rest I don't care to interact with.
Twitter is worse when it comes to inciting violence and being against Blacks. It's a shame that such attitude is allowed over there. I didn't even get why!
I have seen a lot of people I once followed get banned over nonsense. One of the accounts was just a humor account that focused on memes and funny viral videos. Made one comment about Kamala being a hoebag and got wiped off the platform. I think he only had like 3k followers so nothing was done about it. You need to have at least 30k to have some sort of safety net.
The hate is on a high over there. A lot of white folks come over to say hateful words and vent their frustrations on others. I don't even bother much about engaging some of them too.
It really isn't worth engaging on that platform. You have nothing but hate groups and bots looking to start crap. I use it as a read-only platform now. I would much rather be part of communities like this one.
It would have gotten worst had Elon Musk completed buying the social media platform a while ago. Twitter is getting worse by the day and I can't talk enough about the porn contents on it that's getting out of hand.
