Bye bye, brain rot~

Posted by VictorVonVice - 2 weeks ago


I decided to just delete and deactivate my bluesky and X/Twitter accounts. Both weren't doing me any favours artwise, both were crammed with political brain rot from the terminally online (both ends of the spectrum, so heaven forbid if you have an opinion that's not extreme.) and of course, both platforms were rubbing their hands on the notion of A.I which is something I can't tolerate. If I want to interact with people, I got discord for that nonsense (Facebook I keep around for the sake of keeping up with friends and family).


Used both platforms for the past couple of years and I have to say that both have only served to give me grief with political bullshit, people trying to expose each other with the power of assumption and reddit level autism, and people just straight up ruining stuff I enjoy for the sake of Internet good boi points. Life is short and I ain't wasting it diddling on some phone with dipsticks.

I've seen people jump ship from Twitter to Bluesky, but not ditching both at the same time for the same reason.

That being said, good luck. You may want to remove it from your userpage on the left.

Yeah, good call. There's a few other deaf links I should remove too or places I've long abandoned

@VictorVonVice deaf*

Good job.

As Scot of Prog Corner said, those who are "living and breathing politics" online, have issues. :) Currently, I'm the most active on NG, and a handful of small Discord groups run by my friends. Well, also ProgArchives, but that's because I'm a progressive rock nerd. ;P

Sounds like your living the simple and good life! Looking forward to doing the same.

hell yeah dude, get off that shittttttttttttttttt

Thank you for confirming this. I thought about getting a bluesky account. I heard it's pretty much like X and I've only heard about the platform about 3 months ago. I'm at the point to deleting platforms I'm not really active on. Newgrounds is not one of them.

Newgrounds 4 life ;)

Politics just ruins everything and causes chaos and divide. Good thing you deleted both social media.

your spittin straight up facts. the internet was such a better place without em

That's a good decision, yeah... Bluesky is getting political and rocky likely as Twitter right now just kinda gives me goosebumps... if it gets even worse by wrong lessons, then i'll just flee out of that site and proly be remain active here, NekoWeb or SheezyArt (the revival one) as a safe space so i wouldn't deal with any political activites on both atrocities. aaaah... i miss the old internet...
