#FastRepost from @donmatiasaguayo ••• I am coming off Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I will keep this account open for another month, so you can still write me a DM or better still, you can send an email [email protected]. You can also visit my webpage www.matiasaguayo.com, which will be updated soon. (versión en castellano en post previo) Posting something on established “social” media platforms gave me the feeling of contributing meaningfully to our communities. Now that I won’t be able to post anything, the pressure is genuinely on to contribute more in other spaces. Another reason I’m coming off, is the addictive nature of all of these platforms. By continuing to stay on “social” media and uploading content, I’m contributing to the problem, not the solution. The way these platforms over-stimulate us and encourage immediate reactions from us doesn’t fit in with how music, creativity and communication work in my opinion. I want to find other ways to interact with you and am already excited about the possibilities for how to do this. I hope going forward I can introduce what I do in a more meaningful way. #deleteyouraccount https://www.instagram.com/p/BpcODRzCUxyfKQPqJ_gG9TJhzfyVyEqdb8Gm9c0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fjc5kv5mz6kf

Harper Simon asks Jaron Lanier about his latest book, “Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now.”

You brought up this other question of why is it so important for people to leave [Facebook and other social media], and the thing I want to say is that, because of addiction and because of network effects, I realize that only a small minority of people can do it, and I don’t know how many I have influenced to get off of there. I don’t have a means of measuring that. But here’s what I would say: there have been times before, recently and even in America, when society had to confront mass addiction that had a commercial component.

I’m thinking of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. And I’m thinking of the public smoking of cigarettes. In both of those cases, there were industries that relied on mass addiction, but somehow or other, a rational conversation gradually created a change. In neither case was the substance totally outlawed, but its role in society was vastly changed. And I just want to point out that this process of having a rational conversation about how things can change is only possible when at least somebody isn’t addicted. If the MADD Mothers were themselves alcoholics, it would have been harder for them to organize. A space for conversation where some people aren’t addicted facilitates thinking different thoughts and being able to envision different outcomes. And what I do believe is that we can get at least enough people to quit this stuff to create such a space.

There’s a lot of interesting ground covered in this chat with Jaron Lanier. It definitely made me want to read his book. There’s a great part about how social media’s enabled social justice campaigns (like Black Lives Matter or #metoo), but the same qualities that made them viral makes them vulnerable to counter-movements.
