Reducing Dependence on Male Supremacist Social Media Apps: Ideas for Feminists

https://video.wixstatic.com/video/a8d466_60eb2e7a9aff47a6a665da2701ed50ef/720p/mp4/file.mp4

Personally, I’m trying to slow down my posting on Instagram and Substack and have archived all my content here on this website. After years of attempting to quit social media I’m nearing a breaking point and working to change. I might not completely stop using these tools, but I will reduce my dependence on them. They are hurting our bodies!

I hope people will continue to checkout my work and subscribe to my blog here. I want to help fellow feminist women and girls setup their own blog/website through Wix. I’m a Wix Web Designer and it’s a wonderful tool that allows greater control compared to social media apps. The additional benefit is that you can setup forms to collect email addresses so that you don’t lose connection with your online communities (even if your social media is confiscated).

Aside from the labor exploitation of social media, there is also the harm to our health. If you spend the vast majority of your day on screens it is impacting your well-being. Remember to step back from digital echo chambers and reflect on its influence. Breathe in fresh air. Sit in silence. Hide your screens.

P.S. Reflect on the images/videos of yourself, your female loved ones, your sisters, your daughters, your nieces on your personal pages. Remove what you can. Men download your content to use in image-based violence which includes AI generators, digital editing software, etc. This includes your images, videos, and your voice.
