Due to Bluesky's NSFW posts, I decided to delete my account. I hate when people/bots don't label their posts, because I have--er--had a lot of words blocked. I used to love Bluesky because I could block certain words and curate what I was seeing, well for the most part because it doesn't work on images.
I don't know why Bluesky thinks I want to see some mostly naked women sitting on toilets, someone popping a boob out in public places, and Furry Porn, but I really really don't. No matter how many accounts I block and report, more just randomly show up. I don't know if that's just what Bluesky is: NSFW, Furry Porn, and politics. I see more sexual posts than the artists and spiritual folks that I follow. It's basically Meta. They say Bluesky doesn't have an algorithm...are you sure? With Meta, even if you click a post to block, it thinks that you want to see more and more of that kind of post. Even if you just hover over it for a moment, the algorithm thinks that's what you want. I'm just tired of seeing more and more kink and porn on my feed on Bluesky. Reporting does nothing, so yeah, basically Meta. So much for being better than Meta.
So without a warning to my followers, I deleted my Bluesky account this morning. Last straw, basically. It literally has nothing to do with interactions, followers, or likes. Bluesky was just for me, not HFO. It's literally because of all of the NSFW stuff that I can't block and don't want to flippin see. There's a time, place, websites, and labels for that shit. Some of it is borderline bestiality, t's just gross.
I'm also back to being on a fence about deleting my personal Facebook account (again, not a new account, just one that I was locked out of in 2022, then in '25 or'26 I decided to see if the account would work, and I was able to recover it [I deleted my original FB account in August of 2024]). Not that I'm falling back into bad habits, I'm just not a fan of social media. I'm in my 40s and I don't want to spend the rest of my life in front of screens.
Due to an oversaturated field with crochet and psychics, I've made business changes with Hearth Fox Oracle over the last couple of years. I've stopped making crochet to sell and I've taken a break from psychic fairs, too. I'm focusing on my book, my oracle deck, my clergy studies, and getting outside more and getting healthy. I may turn this space into more of a personal blog, and less of a business. I don't get the business that I used to--which bites. I'm tired of selling myself (which I'm terrible at) and competing with other businesses. I'm not a cut throat psychic. I believe in working as a community, not as a competition. Then with all of the drama, the bots, the copy cat scammers, and AI....ugh, it's all very draining.
BUT when I do get my stuff published, I'm going to need this space, and also to get back out at psychic fairs and whatnot. Plus, I'm also practicing making masks and staffs.
Breaks are healthy!
Bluesky is gone. But this blogspot will stay.
Thanks for all of the support!
