page As most of writers do, I sent an early preview of this website to friends and people I admire to share their impressions. In a philosopher-like style, I address some of their objections and questions in this page. true

Name

  • Why Quit Social Media and not Tommi quits Social Media?
  • Why the .club domain?

Even if I somewhat already answered these questions in the About page, 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; I couldn't find a comprehensive list of why 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, quitting Social Media alone is not a deeply meaningful action.


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?

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 (Im 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


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?

I dont expect for this website to become viral, but, deep inside me, I strongly hope so. Please help me by sharing this!
