I think the only thing that has kept me from completely leaving social media (I only use Mastodon and Instagram) is that there's still plenty of humor, memes, cats, and sarcasm.
The rest of the topics that interest me or that I work with daily are widely available on blogs, technical and scientific pages, and from very intelligent people who just happen not to use social media.
Certain medical, scientific or highly specialized topics are present on social networks but at a very low, almost vulgar level. I know that many influencers share basic introductory information for people who want to learn or are just curious. But in the end, to access that content you have to put up with an extraordinary amount of junk information, personal issues, and very biased opinions on topics that don't interest me.
At one point, Mastodon seemed different; I almost thought it might be like the old forums. But no, it's a social network, with all that entails.
And I've come to understand very well that "socializing" is not something I'm very good at, nor something that interests me much.
Because I'm not very interested or don't know how to decipher communication and socialization codes, I always end up doing it quite badly. I mess things up constantly.
So here we go again. I'll just try to share some of my interests here. And if you see me posting a lot of cats and memes, it's because my brain is constantly telling me not to talk about controversial topics and not to get into arguments, not to start fires with my opinions, which in the end are not important because opinions are not reality.#actuallyautistic #autism #socialmedia #mastodon #opinion #bipolar #neurodivergent
