Building an audience on a proprietary network is building an elaborate castle on sand. #bluesky #audience #growth #openinternet #love #motivation #inspiration #socialmediaisnotreallife #success #goals #internet

The realization has been dawning on me that social media "is not real life".

* Governments would greatly benefit from running social media bots -- so, expect their presence.
* Most social media shows you what it thinks you want to see, not what's common -- on those sites (not #Mastodon, thankfully!), expect integrated bias.

This means that:

*You can't safely get a idea of what people think or what's going on in the world by looking at social media.*
