At first, it may seem like a good idea. A way to post things without anyone being able to “deplatform” you and take down your messages.
But think about it more deeply. What you loudly proclaim today, you may completely disbelieve next year. Or personal details which seemed minor and trivial, over time, become combinable into a big red circle 🔴 around you, announcing your details and preferences to strangers, including marketers, who have no personal relationship with you and no innate desire to avoid anything which might be a net negative for you.
This year, you gush joyously over person A. Five years from now, you’ve split with A, and have gone through relationships with B and C. But this love poem from the past is still there for anyone to discover.
I understand and agree with the need for deplatforming resistant platforms, but even though I don’t believe anything we’re doing electronically is permanent as in forever, I just do not see permanence as a beneficial thing for most of the things people publish.
