Wow. It seems all the other social sites are in a competition for who can become the worst the fastest. Reddit has jumped on the selling data to AI bandwagon, as has Facebook and Instagram. Tumblr is still banning trans women while leaving up nonconsensual deepfake nudes and is also now crawling with minors. Twitter is uh... Twitter. Sorry, X.

Cursing my shitty body and dodgy area. Never have I wished to touch grass more.
