I ‘m following through with what I wanted to do almost a year ago, to quit Facebook. Watching Eben Moglin’s keynote again made me realize how much I agree with his views. Sometimes you have to make a stand and today I also quit Twitter. Making a change should start with yourself first otherwise you are just posing an image , and besides it’s very hypocritical.  Some might think I’m a jerk and in quiting facebook, and shows that I don’t care about them, this is not true. I really would love for them to visit me or write an email what they are up to. Relatives and friends I hold dear, but I won’t let convenience guide my choices and freedoms . Stay Free

I left facebook with this note:

My dear friends, I love you all very much, but the time has come where I need to make a stand for freedom and so I’m leaving Facebook. I’m decentralizing MY data to my own server.The plan is to build out my WordPress install to accommodate all my info I would otherwise share with you on here. you can keep in contact with me through my blog site www.brainspoil.net and micro blogging client identi.ca also under brainspoil. very soon I will change my email address to my own domain also. This is all a social as well as a technical challenge, but I hope this will not impede our friendships build over the years.

next I will post a video that inspired this move to a more free version of the social internet. Stay free !

come look me up.
