Back At It - Blogging in 2025?

Well, I think things are finally going backwards. I’m reaching the end of my social media rope. Tired of being inundated with depressing, boring, toxic information which I do not wish to see but have somehow willfully opted myself in to. Here in 2025, pushing 40 years old, I keep asking myself, why do I care about any of this bullshit? Why on earth should I support these mega social media companies when they are run by the absolute worst people in the world. It’s a pretty disgusting compromise we’ve made just to keep up with friends and current events. The bottom line, I think I would be happier without social media. Or at least pushing it massively down my list of priorities. But the obvious questions remain; how do I keep up with friends? How do I keep track of my own happenings? One alternative I see popping back up more and more is blogging. Could it be possible that blogging in the 00's was the sweet spot of internet social connection? Maybe? So i guess I am here once again, ready to give this a shot. Perhaps other friends have a similar idea and we can connect more in the blogger world and make some things a tiny bit better. Cheers!
