Thankfully our brains can adapt to change in just a few days. Within a week of being creative and trying to focus more, I seemed to be able to do those things much easier than before.

This place is my social media

This place is my social media

Mine too. Or "anti-social media", most of the time.

Internet forums will always be better than toxic social media, love the classic interfaces too

Well said. It's a very early 2000's vibe, but those were good times. I always found this format to be more personal than Twitter or something like that.

We are showing our age with preferences and we had it better

I really could have used a machine like this when stripping sod in my backyard. I had to do it by hand and it wasn't anywhere near as satisfying as this...

The best thing about Facebook admittedly was being able to join groups with like minded people. I joined a Traditional Christian Wives group and I got a great friendship out of it. But my friend and I both left Facebook afterward.

If there were some sort of Unchurched Christians who love Scripture group, Id reactivate my account just to join it.

2002 was when I started to go on internet forums and interact with people. I remember a lot of places I used to go to.

Online forums/message boards were at their best during the mid 2000s and late 2000s. They started to go on the decline somewhere in the 2010s.

It was 2002 for me as well. I used to design forum signatures in Photoshop back then, or sigs for short. Good times.

I have not missed Facebook, although I still use its messaging service. My main account there is disabled.

Facebook gave me the ick. I'd see all kinds of mom content with "revolutionary" new parenting styles from some influencer. I'd see all kinds of culture war rage bait with feminists and dudebro mgtow guys. Constant campaigns vying for my support and attention.

My empathy is limited. I can't afford to have it exhausted by some platform.

Another reason to quit social media: literacy.

Books help you relax and give you more reward for your attention.

Amen to this! It’s so easy to let social media drain our time, focus, and energy without even realizing it. Cutting out all that daily noise leaves so much more room to stay grounded in God’s Word, nurture our souls, and protect our heart’s peace. Replacing mindless scrolling with prayer and meaningful fellowship is such a true blessing. Thank you for sharing this reminder!

Very good video!

Shortly before the destuction of Jerusalem
what were the true ones doing and what were the falses ones doing .
And now a word . There is coming a blood bath against all that did not conform
to the all inclusive god and his ecumeincal harlot . And though they be but a remnant , every last one of them
will be seen as only haters who know not GOD or love .
IF you know of anyone that is in any way focused on or partaking of anything or anyone
connected to anything to do with world peace , WARN THEM TO FLEE IT NOW .
now its true its gonna cost us who have done that our lives , or most of us anyway
I SHUDDER IN TOTAL HORROR and TERROR for what THEY are gonna face ON JESUS DAY . i had darn sure
rather be persecuted and even killed for JESUS sake
than to have lived the most luxurious life , even elected as a king of the world and yet had anything to do with this world peace .
THAT A FACT SISTER . THAT is fact . THEY COMING for our hides . And they will beleive they do the will of GOD .
But on the day of the LORD there will be NO , where for them to HIDE . what do you see in the two big words
you See NO HIDE ,
and now a word NOAHIDE WILL LEAD THEM ALL TO ANTI CHRIST and unto the beast . And this inclusive world
will come for our hides , as in our skin and blood sister . But as i said ON JESUS day
they will have no place to HIDE .

It was the early 1990's for me. My employer wanted me to monitor traffic about our products. The interface was quite primitive (text only) compared to now, and most of the users had to be techies.

And the Windows vs. Linux battles (with a few OS/2 heretics thrown in for flavor) were just as much religious wars as anything you see on this site.
