Version 1.0.9
https://github.com/allejo/jekyll-anchor-headings
"Be the pull request you wish to see in the world." ~Ben Balter
Usage:
{% include anchor_headings.html html=content anchorBody="#" %}
Parameters:
* html (string) - the HTML of compiled markdown generated by kramdown in Jekyll
Optional Parameters:
* beforeHeading (bool) : false - Set to true if the anchor should be placed _before_ the heading's content
* headerAttrs (string) : '' - Any custom HTML attributes that will be added to the heading tag; you may NOT use `id`;
the `%heading%` and `%html_id%` placeholders are available
* anchorAttrs (string) : '' - Any custom HTML attributes that will be added to the `<a>` tag; you may NOT use `href`, `class` or `title`;
the `%heading%` and `%html_id%` placeholders are available
* anchorBody (string) : '' - The content that will be placed inside the anchor; the `%heading%` placeholder is available
* anchorClass (string) : '' - The class(es) that will be used for each anchor. Separate multiple classes with a space
* anchorTitle (string) : '' - The `title` attribute that will be used for anchors
* h_min (int) : 1 - The minimum header level to build an anchor for; any header lower than this value will be ignored
* h_max (int) : 6 - The maximum header level to build an anchor for; any header greater than this value will be ignored
* bodyPrefix (string) : '' - Anything that should be inserted inside of the heading tag _before_ its anchor and content
* bodySuffix (string) : '' - Anything that should be inserted inside of the heading tag _after_ its anchor and content
Output:
The original HTML with the addition of anchors inside of all of the h1-h6 headings.

## Backup
Before deleting any account, it would not be a bad idea to back up all of your data. This would also be a great opportunity to realize how much information Social Media have on you.

## Coherence
- *It's incoherent: you are promoting [quitsocialmedia.club](/) **on** social media. If you promote the idea of abandoning social media and you use them to share your perspective, you go against the very idea of quitting them!*
Not quite so. Think about this: if I love the strawberry flavour of the ice cream, I won't speak about how much strawberries are delicious with a friend who is eating a strawberry ice cream, I'll try to let my friend who is eating a chocolate ice cream taste a spoon of my strawberry one. Similarly, it makes no sense to quit Social Media and share this choice *off* social media: people who may quit are the ones who didn't quit yet, and, guess what, they can be reached by social media exclusively, since there is no other valid alternative.
##### *It's incoherent: <u>you are sharing <cite><a href="/">quitsocialmedia.club</a></cite> <b>on</b> Social Media</u>. If you promote the idea of abandoning social media and you use them to share your perspective, you go against the very idea of quitting them!*
Not quite so.

Similarly, it makes no sense to quit Social Media and share this choice *off* Social Media: people who may quit are the ones who didn't quit yet, and, guess what, they can be reached by social media exclusively, since there is no other valid alternative.
This apparently incoherent decision conceals in itself one of the very reasons of quitting: you have no way (or if you do, it's very unlikely) of being noticed or reaching some audience unless it's done through those platforms.
- *If you quit social media, you should quit *all* social media*. Why do you consider only the big platforms?
Mainly, because the vast majority of the problems derives from the fact that the most famous social media are owned by corporations which make profit by managing unethically their platforms. Strictly speaking, by definition social media are not something which is mainly bad, and as a shorthand it's quicker to consider “Social Media” as “Social Media owned by for-profit companies that make money from activities users do for free”, even if it's not exactly so.

Strictly speaking, by definition social media are not something which is mainly bad, and as a shorthand it's quicker and simpler to write “Social Media” instead of “Social Media owned by for-profit companies that make money from activities users do for free”, or, as [Jaron Lanier](http://jaronlanier.com "Jaron Lanier") calls them, [BUMMER](https://thefourthrevolution.org/wordpress/archives/6262 "How BUMMER Became a New Acronym for Social Media").

## Name
- *Why <cite>Quit Social Media</cite> and not <cite>Tommi quits Social Media</cite>?*
- *Why the `.club` domain?*
##### *Why <cite>Quit Social Media</cite> and not <cite>Tommi quits Social Media</cite>?*
Even if I somewhat already answered these questions in the [About page](/about "About - quitsocialmedia.club"), it's important to specify that I did not want to build a whole website to explain why *I* quit Social Media, or I would've done this on [my personal website](https://tommi.space "tommi.space"); I couldn't find a comprehensive list of [why](/why "Why Quit Social Media") Social Media are bad anywhere on the web: there were articles (which I linked), videos and papers, but they all focused on very few points, never providing the whole picture. Since making this website has been a stressful, long and intense work, I believe it's not about me or my personal reasons for quitting, but it extensively covers all of the possible negative arguments which would make someone quit.\
I chose the `.club` domain because it was among the cheapest and it also makes sense: [as I pointed out](/about "About - quitsocialmedia.club"), quitting Social Media alone is not a deeply meaningful action.
I thoroughly explain the main reasons in the [About page](/about "About - quitsocialmedia.club"), but it's important to specify that I did not want to build a whole website to explain why *I* quit Social Media, or I would've done this on [my personal website](https://tommi.space "tommi.space"); I did this because I couldn't find a comprehensive list of reasons [why](/why "Why Quit Social Media") Social Media are bad anywhere on the web: there were articles (which I linked), videos and papers, but they all focused on very few points, never providing the whole picture. Since making this website has been a stressful, long and intense work, I believe it's not about me or my personal reasons for quitting, but it extensively covers all of the possible negative arguments which would make someone quit.
##### *Why the `.club` domain?*
I chose the `.club` domain because it was among the cheapest, but it also makes sense: [as I pointed out](/about "About - quitsocialmedia.club"), quitting Social Media alone and it makes very little sense.
<br>
<br>
## Why
- *Why did you spend all of this time and effort creating this website?*
- *Is someone paying you?*
- *What's your gain in all of this?*
##### *Why did you spend all of this time and effort creating this website?*
I have absolutely **no personal gain** in creating this website and in spamming it everywhere. On the contrary, I invested so much time in writhing these words and building this virtual place (I’m not a developer) that I became very tired and stressed and I came close to giving up. Few months ago, I was so sleepy that by mistake I deleted the working directory of this website, irremediably losing months of hard work.\
If you appreciate what I did, please [consider contributing](/contribute "Contribute")
Deep inside me, to be honest, I do not know; I just feel I need this, as strongly as I feel that I need to delete my Social Media accounts. Nevertheless, of course I devoted so many resources to this website because I frimly beliese in what is written here.
<br>
##### *Is someone paying you? What's your gain in all of this?*
I have absolutely **no personal earnings** in creating this website and in spamming it everywhere. On the contrary, I invested so much time in writing these words and building this virtual place (I’m not a developer) that I became very tired and stressed and I came close to giving up. Few months ago, I was so sleepy that by mistake I completely deleted the working directory of this website, irremediably losing months of hard work (I’m dumb, yes).\
If you appreciate what I did, please [consider contributing](/contribute "Contribute").\
My personal gain is being happy of doing my part in trying to leave the world a little better than I found it, [as the great Baden Powell said](https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/robert_badenpowell_753084 "“Try and leave this world a little better than you found it”"); of course, I will not deny that becoming famous, being inteviewed and followed by crowds of people, regardless of how unlikely it may be, is something I sincerely [hope](#expectations) deep inside me.
<br>
<br>
## Expectations
- *Once the website will be completed, what will you do?*
- *Why should I share this website?*
- *What do you expect it happens?*
- *Do you want everybody in the world to quit Social Media?*
##### *Once the website will be completed, what will you do?*
I don’t expect for this website to become viral, but, deep inside me, I strongly hope so. Please help me by [sharing this](/share "Share")!
A premise: this website, as everything on the internet, will never be **completely finished**. Anything which happens on the web is *a never-ending process*.\
I will spam it everywhere, talk about this in any chat with my friends. Aside from this, I am a [structured procrastinator](http://structuredprocrastination.com "Structured Procrastination") and I am [too busy](https://tommi.space/now "Tommi’s Now page") a ton of other stuff, so it's very unlikely that I will be able to keep this website updated and continue adding new content; however, if you are keen to improve and keep *quitsocialmedia.club* up to date, [you can do it by yourself](/contribute "Contribute")! About the technical aspects: if someone helps me paying for it, the `.club` domain will continue to be available, while the hosting is offered for free by [Netlify](https://netlify.com "Netlify"), therefore it's no problem.
<br>
##### *Why should I share this website?*
It's not my place to say, but I would be very grateful if you do it.
<br>
##### *What do you expect it will happen?*
Honestly, not much. Probably this website will be read by few friends, university colleagues and my relatives. Nonetheless, I profoundly hope that this website will become viral and that more and more people become aware of the problem, but it is not going to happen.

##### *Do you want everybody in the world to quit Social Media?*
Yes, and I believe it would be great, but I am very aware that it cannot and will never happen.

- [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org "Join Mastodon") is the most famous one. Think of it as a healthier version of Twitter.
- [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org "Join Mastodon"), with more than **four active million users** all around the world, is by far the most popular and developed one; its structure and functioning make it very similar to Twitter.
- [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org "Pixelfed official website") is almost identical to Instagram. It has stories, too!
- [Friendica](https://friendi.ca "Friendica official website") it something like Facebook.
- [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org "PeerTube") is a great paltform built by the French Framasoft. As the name suggests, it's like YouTube, but it relies on peer-to-peer video sharing to avoid stressing the servers which host the existing instances.
- [Alternative Social Networks](https://github.com/redecentralize/alternative-internet#social-networks "Alternative Internet repository on GitHub"), the section of the [Alternative Internet](https://github.com/redecentralize/alternative-internet#social-networks "“Alternative Internet” repository on GitHub") GitHub repository by [Redecentralize](https://github.com/redecentralize "Redecentralize on GitHub")
The most awesome thing is that all of these platforms are connected among each other: I can follof from my mastodon account someone on PixelFed, as well as a PeerTube channel. This is possible because these healthier alternative Social Media platforms are based on the same protocol, [ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub "“ActivityPub„ on Wikipedia"). Thanks to this federation, all of these platforms can interact with each other and together they composed what is wonderfully called the [*Fediverse*](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Fediverse "“Fediverse„ on Wikipedia") (which stands for *Federated (Social Media) Universe*)

description: "The heart of the matter: all of the reasons why we should quit Social Media"
---
I haven't found yet a place on the web where all of these reasons for why Social Media are bad were listed. You might not believe in one or two of them, and even a handful of them won't be sufficient to make you realize the gravity of the problem. Nevertheless, after going through all of the arguments, it's hard to negate that something has to be done. The most effective something we can do as individuals, before government actions, lawsuits and reports, is quitting.
## Introduction
Up to now, I could not find a place on the web where **all** of the reasons why Social Media are bad are listed; therefore, I decided to create one.\
Among the arguments presented below, you might not believe in one or two or them, and even a handful of them may not be sufficient to make you realize the gravity of the problem. Nevertheless, after going through all of the following points, it's hard to negate that you cannot continue to go on using Social Media as they were no problem.\
<u>The most effective “something„ we can do</u>, as individuals, without waiting for government actions, lawsuits and reports, <u>is quitting</u>.

## Anger
It's scientifically proven that negative emotions engage users way more than positive emotions. Feed composition algorithms are tailored to maximize engagement and interaction, they don't actually care about how users feel. Our emotions are governed by a machine: you get angry for something you see, you react to it, and you'll start seeing more of it. The more anger, the more engagement, the better.

## Hate
Strictly connected with [anger](#anger "Anger"). When you get angry, you do something about it. This is exactly what Social Media platforms wait for. It doesn't matter how much the debate is fired up, as long as you're interacting a lot, it's good. The problem is you get more hateful: you can't discuss with people who have a different idea without judging them.
Social Media allow us to report content which contains hate or insults, but one thing which can't be reported are **emotions**.

The problem is users get more hateful: the cannot discuss anymore with who has a different idea without judging her.
Social Media allow us to report content which contains hate or insults, but the one thing which cannot be reported is a **feeling**. Social Media owners can attempt to moderate their posts, but they do not always do it, and, most importantly, they practically are unable to: there are too many publications, and it is virtually impossible to check all of them!

## Polarization
It goes without saying that hateful speech and anger lead to a strong polarization in society.\
“Polarization” is a word we are hearing a lot in these days, but the surprising fact is that it isn't linked to one bad side only; division and extremism are fostered by people with different ideas who can't listen to each other. Social Media platforms don't do much to allow a more peaceful way of sharing ideas and a greater openness to different positions.

Since algorithms which govern Social Media aim to keep users hooked to their platform the more they can, they attempt to show us content they know users will like. We're not talking about advertisements alone, we're talking about suggestions inside the platform. “You may also like”, “similar to this” … are just other ways of telling you “keep browsing more, stay here!”. The problem isn't only being [hooked](#addiction "Addiction"), but also ending up living in a bubble, where the vast majority of the content is likeable to you or in line with your ideas, while other things are a remote, unimportant matter. Think about a political election you voted to in the last few years: if you get informed about politics through social media, you probably believed that your side, whatever it was, was gonna win, even if it didn't. This is the simplest example of living in a bubble: you perceive a distorted view of reality.

- I want to point out I have absolutely **no personal gain** in creating this website and in spamming it everywhere. On the contrary, I invested so much time in writhing these words and building this virtual place (I’m not a developer) that I became very tired and stressed and I came close to giving up (few months ago, I was so sleepy that by mistake I deleted the working directory of this website, irremediably losing months of hard work).

Sono Tommi, ho creato questo sito. Saltiamo la parte su di me, che si può leggere sul mio [sito web](https://tommi.space/about-it "Tommi").
Dopo svariati tormentati mesi trascorsi a crucciarmi sui pregi e difetti dei social media, non ce la facevo più. Ero così stressato e ossessionato dai problemi etici che i social network pongono, così ossessionato da letture e documentari per capirne il funzionamento, da concludere che <strong>abbandonarli</strong> è l'unico modo per stare meglio</u>.
Mi sono reso conto, tuttavia, che semplicemente abbandonarli senza fare altro è totalmente inutile. Quante altre persone nel mondo condividono i miei stessi pensieri e preoccupazioni? Come posso condividere nel migliore modo possibile l'importanza cruciale di dubitare del funzionamento dei social network con i miei amici? Come far crescere curiosità, necessità di conoscenza e consapevolezza riguardo il modo in cui hanno luogo la maggior parte delle nostre relazioni online, oggi?
Solamente abbandonare i Social Media non cambia nulla.
<br>
## Perché
Ho deciso di creare quesot sito fondamentalmente perché mi sono accorto che ogni articolo, video o documento che attacca per qualche motivo i *Social Media* menziona sempre <u>solamente una parte dei problemi conseguenti all'esistenza ed al loro utilizzo</u>. Per quanto sia difficile abbracciare completamente ogni aspetto della questione, ritengo sia importante mostrare una visione globale del problema, lasciando che siano i singoli a prendere le proprie decisioni. <u><a href="/it/why" target="_blank" title="Perché">I motivi</a> per abbandonare i <i>social</i> sono molti</u>, credo non possano né debbano essere ignorati.

- <u>Riunire ed elencare in un unico luogo</u> tutti gli articoli, le ricerche, i documentari, le interviste e materiale di ogni sorta che provi come i rischi e i danni dei Social Media superino di gran lunga i loro (pur fantastici) vantaggi.
- Essere <u>un punto di riferimento per tutti i “Social Media quitters”</u>, una comunità globale sempre crescente, per permettere loro condividere ed esprimere chiaramente ed efficecemente le loro motivazioni
- Permettere agli utenti scettici e indifferenti dei Social Media di capire come <u>le scelte individuali e personali siano cruciali</u> e fondamentali per migliorare l'esperienza online di tutti e rendere internet un posto migliore.
Conosco e seguo con passione innumerevoli grandiose e fantastiche *communities* che promuovono la libertà e l'apertura di internet e l'indipendenza dalle colossali, ricchissime e chiuse aziende che ci forniscono [la maggioranza](/it/what "Cos’è un Social Media") dei servizi di social networking. Nonostante questo, sento ci sia un elemento fondamentale che non è abbastanza spinto e promosso: **le decisioni e le azioni di ognuno di noi sono la chiave per il cambiamento globale**. Non dovremmo aspettare che vengano promosse regolamentazioni e leggi; allo stesso modo, non possiamo credere che un giorno qualcuno arriverà e renderà tutto migliore.
**!!** Non intendo assolutamente costringervi ad abbandonare e uscire dai social media, né convincervi che sia la migliore cosa da fare, anche se ne sono assolutamente certo. Vorrei che chiunque arrivi qui <u>analizzi attentamente i contenuti del sito</u> e tutto il materiale riportato, per decidere autonomamente cosa fare.
Dobbiamo comprendere, leggere, informarci e studiare quello che sta accadendo.
<br>
## Note
- Ho scelto il dominio `.club` perché era fra i più economici e, alla fine, ha senso.
- Ci tengo a sottolineare che non traggo assolutamente alcun tipo di vantaggio nel creare questo sito e nell'inviarlo ovunque. Al contrario, ho investito così tanto tempo a costruire questo luogo virtuale che svariate volte sono arrivato vicino al mollare tutto. (Per dire: una volta ero così addormentato che per errore ho eliminato la cartella contenente tutto il materiale del sito, perdendo irrimediabilmente mesi di studio e lavoro, dovendo ricominciare da capo)
- Non mi aspetto che questo sito diventi virale, ma, in fondo in fondo, spero fortemente di sì

description: "Come fanno gli scrittori seri, ho inviato in anteprima questo sito a persone particolarmente informate su questi temi e di cui valuto molto l'opinione affinché condividessero con me le loro impressioni. In stile pseudo-filosofico, affronto alcune delle loro domande ed obiezioni qui di seguito."
toc: true
lang: it

## Coerenza
##### *Non è coerente: <u>stai condividendo <cite><a href="/">quitsocialmedia.club</a></cite> **sui** Social Media</u>. Se promuovi l'idea di abbandonare i* Social *e li usi per condividere questa prospettiva, vai contro l'idea stessa di abbandonarli!*
Non proprio. Pensa a questo: se io amo il gelato alla fragola, non parlerò di quanto sono gustose le fragole con un mio amico che sta addentando un cono alla fragola; piuttosto, proverò a far assaggiare un cucchiaio del mio gelato alla fragola ad un mio amico che sta mangiando il gelato al cioccolato. Allo stesso modo, non ha senso abbandonare i *Social Media* e condividere questa idea **fuori** dalle piattaforme interessate: le persone che *possono* eliminare i propri account sono quelle che non l'hanno ancora fatto e, conseguentemente, sono coloro che possono essere raggiunti unicamente tramite *Social Media*.
Questo metodo di condivisione apparentemente incoerente nasconde in realtà al suo interno proprio una delle ragioni per cui si dovrebbe abbandonare i *Social*: non esiste un modo (e, se c'è, è molto poco considerato) per essere notato o ascoltato se non attraverso le piattaforme in questione.
<br>
##### *Abbandonare i* Social Media *implica abbandonare **tutti** i* Social Media. *Perché consideri solo le più grandi piattaforme?*
Fondamentalmente, perché la maggior parte dei problemi deriva dal fatto che i *Social Media* più comuni e diffusi sono posseduti da *corporations* che guadagnano somme ingenti di denaro gestendo in maniera non etica le proprie piattaforme. Strettamente parlando, per definizione i *Social Media* non sono qualcosa di brutto con connotazione negativa, e per semplicità scrivo “Social Media” per intendere “Social Media posseduti da società che traggono profitto da attività che noi facciamo gratis”, o, come li definisce [Jaron Lanier](http://jaronlanier.com "Jaron Lanier"), [BUMMER](https://thefourthrevolution.org/wordpress/archives/6262 "How BUMMER Became a New Acronym for Social Media").
Per un ulteriore approfondimento di questo aspetto, si prega di leggere [cosa](/cosa "Cosa sono i Social Media?").
<br>
<br>
## Name
##### *Perché <cite>Quit Social Media</cite> e non <cite>Tommi quits Social Media</cite>?*
Spiego più approfonditamente le ragioni di questa scelta nelle [info](/info "Info - quitsocialmedia.club"), ma è importante sottolineare che non ho costruito un intero sito web per spiegare perché *io* ho abbandonato i *Social Media*, altrimenti avrei scritto a proposito unicamente [sul mio sito personale](https://tommi.space "tommi.space"); non sono riuscito a trovare da nessuna parte un elenco completo di ragioni per cui i *Social Media* sono un problema: esistono innumerevoli articoli (alcuni dei quali sono stati qui riportati), video e ricerche, ma tutti si concentrano unicamente su alcuni punti, senza mai fornire un quadro completo delle problematiche. Poiché creare questo sito è stato un lavoro lungo, intenso e stressante, non penso si tratti del mio personale punto di vista quanto della mia necessità di aprire gli occhi a chi non vuole o non ha mai saputo riconoscere i pericoli delle piattaforme che ogni essere umano utilizza almeno una volta al giorno, e affrontare tutto questo spiegando perché sarebbe utile [eliminare tutto](/elimina) ed [essere liberi](/soluzioni).
<br>
##### *Perché il dominio `.club`?*
Ho scelto questo dominio, in tutta sincerità, perché era fra i più economici, ma in fondo ha senso. [Come ho scritto](/info "Quit Social Media Info") abbandonare individualmente i *Social Media* e basta non ha molto senso.
<br>
<br>
## Perché
##### *Perché hai messo tutto questo impegno e investito così tanto tempo a creare questo sito?*
In fondo, ad essere onesto, non ne ho idea; sento unicamente che ne ho bisogno, con la stessa forza con cui sento che devo abbandonare i miei account sui *social*. Cionondimeno, chiaramente ho fatto tutto questo perché credo fortemente in quanto ho scritto e riportato qui.
<br>
##### *Qualcuno ti sta pagando? Cosa ci guadagni?*
Non ho assolutamente **alcun guadagno pecuniario** nel creare questo sito web, né nel condividerlo ovunque. Al contrario, ho speso così tanto tempo a scrivere queste pagine e costruire questo luogo virtuale (non sono uno sviluppatore) che sono diventato molto stanco e in più occasioni sono arrivato vicino ad abbandonare tutto.\
Alcuni mesi fa, ero così addormentato che per errore ho eliminato da terminale la cartella contenente questo sito, perdendo irrimediabilmente mesi di lavoro (sono scemo, sì).\
Se hai apprezzato ciò che ho fatto, potresti [considerare di contribuire](/contribuisci "Contribuisci") anche tu.\
Il mio guadagno è strettamente personale e corrisponde alla felicità di fare la mia parte nel lasciare il mondo un po' migliore di come l'ho trovato, [come dice il sommo Baden Powell](https://hyp.is/LrTvBopgEeqMqF-McSiwCw/it.scoutwiki.org/Citazioni_di_Baden-Powell "Cercate di lasciare questo mondo un po’ migliore di quanto non l’avete trovato"); naturalmente, non negherò che diventare famoso, essere intervistato e seguito da folle di persone, indipendentemente da quanto possa essere probabile, è qualcosa in cui fortemente [spero](#aspettative "Aspettative") dentro di me.
<br>
<br>
## Aspettative
##### *Una volta completato il sito, cosa farai?*
Una premessa: questo sito web, come ogni antra cosa su internet, non potrà mai essere **completamente terminato**. Tutto ciò che esiste su internet, è in realtà un *processo infinito*.
Lo spammerò ovunque e ne parlerò in qualunque conversazione con chiunque. A parte questo, sono uno [*structured procrastinator*](http://structuredprocrastination.com "Structured Procrastination") e sono troppo distratto da altre mille questioni per riuscire a mantenere questo sito aggiornato e aggiungere nuovi contenuti; tuttavia, se fossi desideroso di migliorare e aggiornare *quitsocialmedia.club*, [puoi farlo tu stesso](/contribuisci "Contribuisci")!\
Per quanto riguarda gli aspetti tecnici: se qualcuno fosse così gentile da aiutaemi a pagarlo, il dominio `.club` continuerà ad essere utilizzato, mentre l'*hosting* è offerto gratis da [Netlify](https://netlify.com "Netlify"), quindi non c’è problema.
<br>
##### *Perché dovrei condividere questo sito?*
Non sta a me dirlo, ma ti sarei molto grato se decidessi di farlo.
<br>
##### *Cosa ti aspetti succederà?*
In tutta sincerità, non molto. Probabilmente questo sito web sarà letto da alcuni amici, compagni di corso e parenti. Ciononostante, spero fortemente che questo sito diventi virale e che sempre più persone diventino consapevoli del problema, che io venga ospitato da [Gramellini su Rai Tre](https://www.raiplay.it/programmi/leparoledellasettimana "Le Parole della Settimana su Rai Play") e che l'Italia e il mondo intero mi acclamino come colui che ha risolto i problemi di internet, ma non succederà, anche perché non è affatto così: io offro una semplice [soluzione](/soluzioni "Soluzioni") a un insieme indefinito e immenso di problemi, ma non sono sicuro che funzionerà.
<br>
##### *Vorresti che tutte le persone nel mondo eliminassero i Social Media?*
Sì, credo anche che sarebbe grandioso, ma sono molto consapevole che non può succedere e non accadrà mai.

Sono Tommi, ho creato questo sito. Saltiamo la parte su di me, che si può leggere sul mio [sito web](https://tommi.space/about-it "Tommi").
Dopo svariati tormentati mesi trascorsi a crucciarmi sui pregi e difetti dei *Social Media*, non ce la facevo più. Ero così stressato e ossessionato dai problemi etici che i social network pongono, così ossessionato da letture e documentari per capirne il funzionamento, da concludere che <u><strong>abbandonarli</strong> sarebbe stato l'unico modo per stare meglio</u>.
Mi sono reso conto, tuttavia, che semplicemente <u>eliminare i miei account senza fare altro è totalmente inutile</u>. Quante altre persone nel mondo condividono i miei stessi pensieri e preoccupazioni? Come posso condividere nel migliore modo possibile l'importanza cruciale di dubitare del funzionamento dei social network con i miei amici? Come far crescere curiosità, necessità di conoscenza e consapevolezza riguardo il modo in cui hanno luogo la maggior parte delle nostre relazioni online, oggi?
Tentando di rispondere a queste domande, ho deciso di creare <cite>quitsocialmedia.club</cite>
<br>
## Perché
Mi sono accorto che ogni articolo, video o documento che critica i *Social Media* menziona sempre <u>solamente una parte dei problemi conseguenti alla loro esistenza ed al loro utilizzo</u>. Per quanto sia difficile abbracciare completamente ogni aspetto della questione, ritengo sia importante mostrare una visione globale del problema, lasciando che siano i singoli a prendere le proprie decisioni. <u><a href="/it/why" target="_blank" title="Perché">I motivi</a> per abbandonare i <i>social</i> sono molti</u>, credo non possano né debbano essere ignorati. <cite>quitsocialmedia.club</cite> intende raccogliere diversi punti di vista in forme differenti e mostrare come uscire dai *Social Media* sia la soluzione migliore.
<br>

Nonostante questo, sento ci sia un elemento fondamentale che non viene sufficientemente sottolineato: **<u>le decisioni e le azioni di ognuno di noi sono la chiave per il cambiamento globale</u>**.

## Brevemente
In sintesi: dopo aver abbandonato i *Social Media*, non diventerai un misantropo che vive nella foresta ed è isolato dal resto del mondo. Tutt'altro: abbandonare i *Social Media* non significa abbandonare il web per sempre, ma sfruttare <u>i suoi reali valori di indipendenza e apertura</u> in maniera diversa. Potrebbe essere difficile crederci, ma esistono **molti** grandiosi e semplici strumenti che possono facilmente rimpiazzare i *Social Media*.
Il concetto fondamentale è: per essere aggiornato e seguire l'attività di persone ed enti, puoi iscriverti al [feed RSS ](#rss-feed) del loro sito web, con [qualche passo in più](#usare-i-social-senza-essere-sui-social), puoi generare un feed RSS anche per canali YouTube, pagine Facebook, profili Instagram e Twitter… <u><strong>qualunque cosa</strong> si trovi su internet</u>. even to Social Media pages and profiles, YouTube channels… anything. To publish content, instead, the best way is to [**create your own website**](#website), start a newsletter, or consider [healthier Social Media platforms](#alternatives).

## RSS feed
Potresti on avere idea di [cosa sia un feed RSS feed](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS "“RSS” su Wikipedia"), o potresti averne sentito parlare come di qualcosa di vecchio e obsoleto. Tuttavia, è uno strumento semplicissimo che preserva l'anonimato, non è posseduto da nessuno e non necessita di alcun server dedicato per funzionare. Non è governato da algoritmi e nessuno può sapere chi segui, cosa leggi, ascolti o credi, tantomeno è possibile utilizzare dati per [fini commerciali](/perché#profilazione), dato che non vengono raccolte informazioni su di te (nella maggior parte dei casi).

Alcuni dicono che i feed RSS sono morti, uccisi dai *Social Media*. In realtà, sono imperituri, e sono tuttora **ovunque** sul web. Per fare un esempio, tutti i podcast del mondo sfruttano i feed RSS per apparire su diverse piattaforme e per essere condivisi e riprodotti.

Dopo un po', è facile finire per essere piuttosto malinconici e rendersi conto che i *Social Media*, utilizzati da quasi ogni persona si conosca, sono l'unico modo per mantenere contatti con amici lontani ed essere aggiornati su cosa succede nelle vite di coloro a cui si vuole bene. È comprensibile, anche se l'ideale sarebbe che tutti si convertissero e abbandonassero i *Social*. Tuttavia, se non si avessero alternative, anche in questo caso, esiste uno strumento favoloso per <u>convertire in feed RSS le timeline dei social network</u>.
Gli strumenti esistendi sono più di uno, ma il più celebre è [RSS-Bridge](https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge "RSS-Bridge si GitHub").

## Alternative
Ho già trattato [le ragioni](/perché "Perché") per cui i *Social Media* così come noi li conosciamo siano preoccupantemente dannosi. Peraltro, esistono innumerevoli piattaforme che risolvono molti, se non tutti, i più importanti problema dei grandi e antipatici *Social*. Le caratteristiche distintive di tali piattaforme è che <u>non contengono pubblicità</u>, di nessun tipo, i dati personali raccolti sono il minimo indispensabile e <u>non vengono sfruttati per profilare gli utenti</u>, ma, soprttutto, sono liberi, aperti e indipendenti, anche se tutti connessi fra loro. Ogni piattaforma ha le proprie regole.

Queste piattaforme non sono solo gratis da utilizzare, ma anche liberamente replicabili e facilmente connesse fra loro.
All of these platforms are free not only to subscribe to, but also to actually use! Anyone could take the code and install it on her/his own server. Imagine having a whole Facebook, completely owned by you. How cool would it be?
Questi *Social Network* alternativi non sono solo gratis da utilizzare, ma anche liberamente replicabili: chiunque può [installarli sul proprio server](#crea-il-tuo) e facilmente connesse fra loro. Immagina di avere il tuo proprio Facebook. Quanto sarebbe favoloso?
- [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org "Join Mastodon") is the most famous one. Think of it as a healthier version of Twitter.
- [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org "Pixelfed official website") is almost identical to Instagram. It has stories, too!
- [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org "Mastodon"), con più di **quattro milioni di utenti** in tutto il mondo, è di gran lunga la piattaforma più diffusa e conosciuta; il suo funzionamento e la sua struttura sono molto simili a quelli di Twitter.
- [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org "Pixelfed") is almost identical to Instagram. It has stories, too!
- [Friendica](https://friendi.ca "Friendica official website") it something like Facebook.
- [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org "PeerTube") is a great paltform built by the French Framasoft. As the name suggests, it's like YouTube, but it relies on peer-to-peer video sharing to avoid stressing the servers which host the existing instances.

The most awesome thing is that all of these platforms are connected among each other: I can follof from my mastodon account someone on PixelFed, as well as a PeerTube channel. This is possible because these healthier alternative Social Media platforms are based on the same protocol, [ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub "ActivityPub on Wikipedia"). Thanks to this federation, all of these platforms can interact with each other and together they composed what is wonderfully called the [*Fediverse*](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Fediverse "Fediverse on Wikipedia") (which stands for *Federated (Social Media) Universe*)
