So it only took six weeks before I was (silenced). Epiphany no more!

Someone please develop some kind of quasi-equivalent to FB! I’ve lived in 10 states-use it to keep in touch with family & friends, like others. But their insane & illogical “guidelines,” cherry-picking of “community standards” to follow, frivolous & biased decisions, & pandering are unacceptable!

I wanted to be “where the people are” and be able to amplify and share ALL THE THINGS – which wasn’t really happening anyhow, because algorithms. Anything I tried to share got little to no views – especially with links and since that was the point of me trying again – I shouldn’t be upset being kicked out when it wasn’t working anyhow, right?

The last post I put up earlier in the week – I had something like 80 likes – what? And a whole handful of commenters saying they missed me, welcome back etc…

A friend reached out to me on Linkedin with this message — which made me smile.

“Hello old friend. Just received a friend request from your Facebook account. Somehow I thought we were already connected there, but a look at my list says otherwise. In any case, thought I should confirm its really you. That person has only a couple hundred friends, but the Jennifer Weber I know has been active on social media forever and should have many more, unless she’s been laying low on the platform.”

Hence – writing this post. Which subsequently had me silenced.

Whatever. I shouldn’t be aggravated but I really, really am. (PERIMENOPAUSAL RAGE)

AT LEAST I FIND MYSELF IN GOOD COMPANY! 🙂 – I didn’t unfriend you; Facebook kicked me out

I hate what America has become from the depths of my soul. 100% certain I’ll be round up as a person of dissent if not for chronic and mental illness.

GOOD TIME FOR A REMINDER THAT YOUR CONTENT ON THESE PLATFORMS DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. Back it up. Download your archives. Build your email lists. One small email at a time.

In reality – I wish with all my heart that the people – where they are – those 80 some friends who liked a Facebook post would follow me here, but alas, that’s not how it works.

BTW – friends who do follow me here – THANK YOU it means more than you know.

Onward. One word, one link, one photo, one post – one follower at a time.
