It has become too much for me. I'm starting to crack. Most of what I read is more and more bad news. The articles posted here are always seeming to be inflammatory, and negative in nature. I'm well beyond hesitant to look at this board. Most of you know where these articles come from. They all seem to drive a negative impulse into us.
I love this place, and all of you tirelessly working your asses off. We need to take a serious look at what is being pushed into our minds.
I wake up in the morning, dreading the workday, and it starts off with checking this board. Fuck, more bad news. More bad news from the same sources. I try so hard to find a glimmer of light in a post to sticky, but it's almost gone.
I'm seriously debating walking away from this place. There is little light here, just more storm clouds. The worst thing is, it's not even close to how bad it is gonna get. The storm clouds will get darker, and I just want to take my hands off the fucking wheel at this point and just say fuck it.
I had big hopes for Truth Social, but it seems it's just a bunch of follower hungry fags looking for recognition. Jesus Christ, "re-truth this if you agree!" Fucking stupid. Sorry if I'm lame and don't understand the workings of twitter, I never fucked with it.
I just see a platform pre-infected with cancer. Cliques of "Q-Influencers" posting shit a few days later after it is posted here and claiming it is "breaking news". I get why truth social is needed for people who can't handle a place like poal, but for now it's a lame circle-jerk for the ever growing conglomerate of "WeTheMedia". It sucks seeing the same fucking story posted by 10 different people because they are obligated to do so it seems.
A lot of us ended up here because of the corrupt social-media complex forced us out numerous times from many platforms. I've learned once we are at this point, there is no going back to the tired old model. We are forever at the outpost, we've seen too much, and cloning the bad in hopes it does good is stupid.
I've realized that we are the news, we fight in the trenches, and they are the re-tweet craving faggots only in it for self gratification.
Sorry, I'm rambling, and beyond exhausted. Just needed to vent, and you fine people have always listened. I hope I wake up tomorrow feeling different, and I may. I just think I need a break. If you see no stickies, it's not because your post isn't worthy, or I've given up, it's just because I know you all will continue to work regardless. That is the beauty of this place, the poal train has no fucking brakes.
Thank you again my friends, I love all of you. I truly believe one day the sun will shine on our faces, and we will be able to take a deep breath, and actually relax.
A literal "touch grass" moment.
Genuinely a good thing, though.
