Took another step in the right direction today and finally deleted my 15 year old FB.
And I feel nothing but relief and feeedom. CoSo is where I am at anyway, but felt some crazy need to keep it. Learning more and more how to let go of things. Physical and otherwise. It feels good.

I had to go through resetting mine,lol.
Having worked at facebook I know they and nearly all social media platforms and some private companies can track you through your phone. There were work arounds to prevent it, but it grew to be a hassle so I deactivated my Fb acct long ago.
With a cristo-fascist party fully in control of the Exec, Legislative & Judicial branches of gov't & w/X already helping him, I cannot stay on there.
@Bliss @CinnamonGirlE @Lulz4l1f3 sorry to butt in but I'm assuming IG is the same? It's my last bastion because of my kids but I'm about ready to dump. I already scrubbed.
@SaltyVeruca @CinnamonGirlE @Lulz4l1f3
yes, they are a sister to fb and can track you also. CoSo is the only one that doesnt track you. neither does proton mail if you want to do the whole underground thing. if you are going to support activism efforts that's something to consider.
@Bliss @CinnamonGirlE @Lulz4l1f3 Considered and will act accordingly. Thank you.
@SaltyVeruca @CinnamonGirlE @Lulz4l1f3
one last thing, if you are going to be part of an underground resistance you can use Insta knowing full well you can be tracked. There are advantages to this as Ukrainian soldiers and resisters in the dombas region well know. They used their phones to ID coordinates of russian troops and let ukrainian soldiers know where to strike. Worked REALLY well.

Been off twitter for a couple years now. Best decision I made. Amazing how you can come here and find people posting fav music, great articles, beautiful photos. Funny memes and pizza wars. This is SM that is good for your soul.
