> politics, religion or other controversial stuff.
I never post about that stuff. It is just some random meme or funny stuff or links to external site or my own blog about news or tutorials. That is all.

I'm really sick of all social media companies randomly removing posts and using algorithms designed to provoke anger or hate. I feel like I should just create an independent site that anyone can follow using either a full RSS feed or a daily or weekly email newsletter. After all, I don't get paid to post on these social media platforms. It's just my laziness that's stopping me, and I don't want to invest money into hosting. I think @mwl did it correctly. This is the way in a long run.
