It was like wandering into an unfriendly bar that never got fun. Dropped Facebook after a bunch of my private posts and messages got flagged for hate speech, going back several years. To be blunt, either someone in my list of 'friends' was combing my stuff looking for anything in my semi-funny stuff to have a snit over, or I was being set up by a mod-bot for an eventual boot.<br /><br />Been on Mewe regularly for the past few months. Experimented with Reddit, but it was a time suck that had little positive payback, so I dropped it.<br /><br />Left Blogger for WordPress a few years back, and have been happy. Considering leaving, though. They've booted a few folks over ideology, and that doesn't sit well.DaddyBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279350257789459054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930683319071532737.post-2847966514471083032021-01-08T09:36:53.712-08:002021-01-08T09:36:53.712-08:00It's not despair, unless you think I'm goi...It's not despair, unless you think I'm going to Hell because I gave up on Twitter.Dranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082177597135236652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930683319071532737.post-22856498538717520082021-01-07T16:29:56.102-08:002021-01-07T16:29:56.102-08:00"Despair is a Sin" - J.

And flying cars. <br />Granted, even Heinlein preferred to forget he wrote that.
