The reason why I stopped using Facebook 4 years ago was summed up by a study that revealed that anyone that fell within their definition of the term "alt-right" was being deliberately denied access to the full range of content being posted by follows, and intentionally boring.

Boring af it was, for two years it had been boring, from about 2017, and then they started wedging in ads and even Fluff Busting Purity extension wasn't keeping this crap off my feed.

Boring, and every 5th post was an ad. After I clicked through on a few I decided that this platform was no longer a social media but an interactive TV, and that's not what I signed up for.

Virtually half of the population now is in this marginal box that the commies in Silicon Valley are being paid to filter and exclude from public discussion.

It is moving slowly now, but you watch over the next year how fast Truth Social, Gab, and all the rest, the user base moves to Nostr and builds their own alt-right goggles in some cases.

The actions on the part of these techo-wizards-of-Oz has resulted probably in millions of people having no chance of bumping into a viable partner, last time I got a new gf via social media was 2012 facebook.

Ever since then, they have been deliberately isolating us from each other.

I guarantee the number one reason why people will come to Nostr, as things play out over the next two years, will be for the stories about meeting soulmates and getting married.

I *guarantee it*.

All of the social media used to have this phenomenon, ever wondered why it stopped happening?

Yes, happy people cannot be manipulated so easily.

The fact is that the odds that in 10 years on social media that I would not by chance be exposed to some nice girl who wanted to be with the guy she bumped into on social media are so slim it should be obvious that I am not so uninteresting as the way my contacts on social media happened during this time went down.

It's just inconceivable. And I need to point out that during this online drought, I did meet a really nice lass, even while living on the street, and I can guarantee you I'm far more charming than 99.99% of the guys you find at the homeless drop in centers in Amsterdam. How I can be good enough for a one in a thousand girl, a spunky, outspoken, clownish girl, who I would have married in a heartbeat, and yet some 7 years of facebook and not one.

It's just ridiculous, and I think it's time someone pointed it out.

The thing that brought most people to social media was dating.

One of the earliest instant messengers was called "icq" I Seek You, and it deliberately made it easy to find potential partners. Even on that platform I had several encounters one or two of them leading to physically meeting.

It is like, they pulled all the genX people onto social media with this hook, and then they made sure that only commie-friendly people had relatively open access to a real social group, as a way to keep us from realising that this shit was stopping us from having a social life.
