    twitter, reddit and facebook

    There's your mistake, you're scrolling through the unironically worst places on the internet. Retreat to somewhere less "important"/relevent/whatever: tumblr, something awful, a fucking skyrim forum. Read some fanfiction.

    The internet's great, but the bigger and more "real" a site gets, the more it gets overrun by chuds and libs and boomers. The ultimate defense against that is furry porn, shitposting and piracy. The rule is: the more repelling that site and it's content is to advertisers, the better your experience there will be.

      maybe try out open alternatives like mastodon, you can join a leftist instance and branch out from there. I thought the same before I broke away, my life has gotten much better since I ditched twitter and facebook.

        I wanna give this a go but Mastodon confuses me - what's an 'instance' exactly?

          Just the website you end up using to make your account on, think of it like choosing something like gmail or protonmail. You can still interact with people no matter which you choose, though some may block certain instances (like mose instances block fascist instances) but that usually won't get in your way. Your account also only works on one but you can migrate your follows likes and followers if you need.

            Thanks for your reply! Cool, so it seems like you'd more or less stick to one instance? Or would you bounce around like subreddits?

              It depends but usually it's best to settle down into one, I used to use a really big instance but I eventually moved to cybre.space because I liked the ui and some people I followed were there. When it comes to interacting with people it's almost never a conscious thing, they just look like accounts all the same.

                Interesting, seems a bit more complicated than what I'm used to but I've wanted to try Mastodon since the Tumblr exodus a while back because I thought most blogs would move elsewhere. Never really got the hang of it back then, but I'll give it a try now, thank you for the help!

      Wait--is this where all the chapo interest in furry porn comes in? I've been genuinely curious, but haven't wanted to ask and make anyone feel uncomfortable about it.

        firstly, biden isn't anywhere near cool enough to give furries rights, and also you might like to know that this specific type of wreking doesn't really work for a lot of people because that's just a line of ASCII boxes to me :/
