UnSocial Media

Lately I've come to more belief what I've suspected, that social media is mostly toxic to our culture.  
Yes, I know I'm one to talk.  I'm addicted just like you are.  But I'm trying to step back from it.  The days before Twitter and FaceBook were so much freer and more innocent.  People listened to each other more.  It wasn't a manhunt for wrongthink.  Blogging was how you expressed your ideas online.  

Maybe I'm just getting old and decidedly uncool, but I miss the days of small online communities.  Global contentedness of everything online is just...toxic.  It's an overused word, but it's best to describe the way things are.  

The sad reality is, if I weren't connected on FB and Twitter, I wouldn't interact with many people at all.  I so wish to be in a blogging community.  Do you know of any?  You probably even found this post through social media, which is the irony of it all.  

I want my blog to be more than meta posts about blogging or social media.  What do YOU like to read about from blogs like mine?  Leave an actual comment and let me know.
