I am not on social media

Since March 2021, I deleted all my profiles on social media—with the exception of Linkedin (for the moment).

I firmly believe that the reasons of my choice are not merely personal, but they are universal! What is personal is the weight that each and everyone of us gives to the pro and cons of these platforms. After weighting all the factors on my personal weight, I would not stand the anxiety social media cause(d) me. I grew extremely intolerant to social media enshittification, so I quit.

Still, I also wanted to push as many people as possible to at least learn more about this. Therefore, to foster questioning of social media starting from a unique—yet comprehensive and reliable—source, I created quitsocialmedia.club. There, I gathered all the worrisome issues of social media, together with related articles, videos or even research.

For better or worse, a lot has changed since I created the website: its content and its arguments could be relatively obsolete or limited. In any case, I still think that exploring quitsocialmedia.club could be a great starting point to approach this critical topic.

At the same time, my thinking matured, too. Nurtured by readings, lectures, research, and dialogues my opinion matured. Essentially, I became more conscious of the intersectionality of the fights I support. My thesis goes deeper, investigating the problem at the root of all the ones tackled by Quit Social Media, also by proposibg a new Socio-Philosophical approach to Computer Sciences. Recently, I conceived and I am taking around the world a workshop to foster collective reflections and participatively theorize new solutions. I would love for you to invite me to do the workshop somewhere, but you could even do it by yourselves!

I am not a Luddist, condemning contemporary technology no matter what. I am not a mysanthrope out of the world, either. I proudly use alternative, decentralized social networks che condanna a priori la tecnologia, né un misantropo fuori dal mondo, perciò utilizzo orgogliosamente social network alternativi, decentralizzati e autogestiti. Mi trovate nel Fediverso e non aspetto altro che qualcunə mi contatti per parlarne!
