Biggest reason I run
atomicpoet.org:
I want to be me—and I am weird. Few social platforms let me get weird. They all try to box me in. Screw that. I’m flying the freak flag.
One day I’m writing about cassette tapes. The next, I’m diving into obscure DOS games. The day after, I’m parodying Blade Runner. And sometimes? You’ll catch me posting selfies—in a tank top and shorts—talking about workouts.
That’s me. You’re not putting me in a box. Which is why I spend my time here—on my own Fediverse server.
If some random admin doesn’t like me? Too bad. I’m still connected to 30,000 other servers.
This is why I’ll never put my social media life in someone else’s hands.
