Feeling Very Nihilistic
Today, I'm feeling angry, frustrated, and deleted my instagram acccount. Now, after thinking it over and over, I'm wondering if I made a mistake.
I am disabled and housebound. However, I still want to find some way to make a career, online, preferably with art and music. I also have no means to socialize, outside of the internet. I am unable to just go out and talk to people.
Now, I am feeling very nihilistic, frustrated, and confused. I want to do without billionaire social platforms. I don't want to use a platform that supports genocide, steals data, etc.
But, do I have a choice? Is this just the world now? Am I stuck using these platforms (instagram, facebook, tiktok, youtube, etc) in order to socialize and make a career?
I know the fediverse is a thing, but for someone in my position, it can just be more isolating.
I'm feeling very hopeless right now, and like fighting this is pointless. I don't know what else to say. This is driving me crazy.
Anyone else have these feelings?
Is there an alternative?
