Any product created by a company that has demonstrated evil intent should be considered evil, even if there are legitimate valid uses. You have to trust not only the person using it, but also the company that controls what the device can/will do with or without the users constent.

I don’t know. That’s harder, and I feel like a lot of negativity can build up in a terminally online state, because that is what most sites are programmed to push.

I would strongly recommend finding ways to stretch your comfort zone, to involve getting out more, but I don’t know what limitations you’re working with.

You could potentially look for mutual aide groups, as they seem to have ways of helping from wherever you’re at, and that may be a way to start. Especially if its a more local organization, it could eventually lead to a more in person presence down the road if you get to where your comfortable with the idea.

Getting involved with and helping build local community. Find groups whose interests align with yours, and show up. Meet people and ask how you can help grow the community.

Getting put into the mix, doing concrete things to make day to day more enjoyable for yourself and people around you will help you feel better about where the world is.

It’s also where people need to be when things go bad. It’s always going to be local community that helps get people through it. Being involved already means you’re better situated than those who aren’t.

If you’re out there doing the work, its also going to be easier to meet new people and therefore more likely to find a romantic connection.

Just remember, anyone, or anything can be posting those ‘truths’. There is no way to verify it’s actually him, or even his intent being represented by them.
