Hi Crosheille
I am so sorry this happened. It is so wrong on every level. There were similar reasons for me leaving FB, I won't go into in detail here, but I simply didn't want people to be able to find me and stalk me or my daughter and I've never looked back. When I left, one person out of over 250 people noticed that I had left, the rest can happily assume I'm dead for all I care - and how much do I care? Well probably as much as they do to be honest.
The thing is that those platforms are geared to push an agenda and if you do due diligence on a particular topic that's "the latest thing" and your views go against those of the platform, well yes, you will be targetted. So many of the channels that I used to watch on YouTube were purged and shut down two years ago because they questioned the narrative around CV19 and political things around the world.
The war in Ukraine is the current thing now and if you voice anything about the previous 8 years history of fighting in that region, the previous atrocities or what NATO had agreed on previously that they've now totally gone against, or the dabbling and corruption of certain high up politicians that may have had a hand in what has transpired - bam - you're on the hit list. I'm not in any form of denial about the war there or how it is affecting the people in that region, but this has been in the making for decades. It wasn't just something that happened overnight like people have been led to believe.
The issue is that most people on the platforms like FB are not willing to take a step back and see the bigger picture, they only focus on the latest headline and what the media is feeding them immaterial of whether it is actually the case or not. My views I refrain from even putting onto Hive. It's kinda sad that we end up censoring ourselves but what option is there when you get death threats for having an opposing opinion to the masses?
Thanks Andrastia.
It was really wrong and shockingly disturbing. The ones that noticed I was gone reached out to me irl and gave me their emails and phone numbers. That's when you know people actually care to keep up with you and as of today we still keep in touch. I feel like most people think that platform is the only way to stay connected but it's not.
You have spoke a lot of truth here and I agree with you. Even though I feel safer here on Hive I am still careful of the views and opinions I share.
There are big agendas being pushed on us constantly and you’re right about being attacked if you oppose any of them.
I believe this to be true for many events that have occurred.
Right?!! I learned my lesson the hard way about people not willing to take a step back from what they’re being fed. There was no way I was staying in a place like that where people went so low to spew out death threats to me.
Thanks so much for this response, I really appreciate you adding this here ~
