The number of “0-posts, no-avatar” accounts spewing hate and divisive rhetoric in Instagram comment sections has gone absolutely wild over the past year. I’ve literally blocked hundreds of them, but it’s a losing game — more appear every day than anyone could ever block. And reporting them is pointless, too.
I bet it wouldn’t be too hard for Meta to block or downrank these accounts by default — if there were any real will to do so. 🥲
But somewhere along the ride, checking each one (let alone posting to every channel) started feeling like a chore. The more I thought of it, the more I become convinced that most of the time I spent on these channels was time wasted.

I continued my well formed habit of getting back to blogging endeavours every January (since forever). Here’s the latest chapter! 😂 https://www.juhaliikala.com/in-search-of-that-bloggin-feeling/

Yeah, Meta doing what Meta does best I guess. I see zero (0) views on all of my posts on Threads (even those which have comments, likes, etc.). This week’s posts have gathered a astounding 2 likes and 0 comments in total (and 0 views, I guess). Flatlining. 🙃
Great work on the new Mythos theme @Mtt! Now I want to fork it and do some tinkering, there goes the Saturday! 😂
A bit of an “apples-to-oranges” comparison, but just out of curiosity—here are the blog vs. Threads “views” from the past 30 days. The blog views are totals, not uniques (uniques would be around 500). In other words, getting 👀’s for blog is hard! 😄
Any bloggers here from the Nordics (especially if you blog in your native language)? I’d love to check out how others approach personal blogging (and social media) when it’s not in English. 😁
Oh, wait! Speaking about old domains.. this very domain actually turned 20 this year! How have I missed that.. Pop the champagne! 😃🍾
Holy moly! Just rediscovered an archive of nearly 100 draft posts I once planned to finish and publish on nomadcouch.com — a blog I ran until 2012. Brought back some golden memories! 😄 That’s 13 years ago… where does the time go? Maybe it’s time to reimagine it and start fresh? 🫢
