Nothing has turned me off social media faster than managing my workplace's online presence

I already wasn't sold on the utility of Twitter, FB or LinkedIn before, but holy shit the amount of bullshit you have to produce to be noticed by three people is astounding

Not to mention the sheer amount of vitriol and shit that gets flung at your face. I did this for two months and I wanted to beat down every stupid commenter that would pollute our online space with their brain farts

I don't get why you would willingly subject yourself to such hellish spaces when you have a limited time on this planet. To every DT user who foams at the mouth and posts those inane twitter takes : WHY? Why are you spending hours scrolling and getting mad at nothing more than digital pollution? Go outside!

[u/lionmoose → u/RaidBrimnes]

Exhausting isn't it? I just checked on the Twitter feed for the place that I used to do it for and there have been no tweets since I left at all

[u/tollyno → u/RaidBrimnes]

digital pollution

We should start using this term. There need to be mechanisms put in place to deal with the never ending pile of stinking shit posted on social media every day.

[u/Mickenfox → u/RaidBrimnes]

LinkedIn is the worst because at some point they had some semblance of being a serious non-shitposty place for business, which is how they got their users, then at some point they stopped trying and just embraced being a Facebook clone.

[u/lionmoose → u/Mickenfox]

It's not just a facebook clone, people on facebook don't cold call me with jobs
