How to get in touch with me and my content going forward in 2025

New Year New Changes? 

I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do with this blog as I haven't made a post here in years. I do want to address the comment on my previous post: Thank you so much! I am glad the meanings I put together for the Il Vostro Destino cards was incredibly useful for you for learning this system. We  are officially into first month of 2025 (at the time of writing this post) and a new year often inspires new changes. So why not make better use of this blog going forward. I have deleted my Facebook business pages (Untamed Magic and Soren The Language Adventurer) as well as my Soren The Language Adventurer Instagram account today. As Meta is becoming more and more of a hostile environment and becoming spammed with AI generated images and accounts, it was time to set better boundaries with how I engage with social media and use platforms that respect privacy, allow users to hide content that is hateful and irrelevant as well as blocking those who only want to cause unnecessary harm.

Obviously no platform is perfect but when a platform removes protections that enable trolling, hate speech, doxxing/SWATting culture and encouraging acts of violence. This is why I initially stopped posting to Twitter because it stopped being a place of fun engaging conversations (yes, there were trolls and what have you at the time) and quickly became an incredibly violent cesspool of hateful people, propaganda spreader and ultimately a place where it seems like any post you make becomes an unnecessary argument filled with hatred and the unwillingness to see nuance in a discussion. When I figured out how to delete it I finally did. I am also not going to use a platform where I am constantly fighting, debating and being bombarded with hate from people who have nothing better to do with their time.

I quit YouTube on October 2020 shortly after moving to the place that I currently reside in. This was not intentional but ultimately I realised that it simply wasn't possible to continue making videos with my previous laptop and needing to be mindful of noise as it could potentially be heard in the rooms next to mine. Will I come back to YouTube? Unfortunately, the answer is no. I feel that this platform was not for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed connecting with the community of people I met through YouTube. I still connect with many of them elsewhere on other social media platforms. I still watch their videos when I can and comment on their videos occasionally. What I didn't like about YouTube was the drama that would almost randomly seem to present itself among creators who regularly made.

It got to the point where it alienated different creators and caused riffs that forced us to pick sides. I got burned out making content regularly and ultimately decided to just do my readings on Instagram and my Facebook business page after that. But unfortunately, I have not been as consistent as I would have like to have been. I do appreciate the feedback on the readings I did for the public on both YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.

What about Instagram?

The readings and posts that I have made on Instagram will not be posted here as blog post instead. This will give me more room for me to go into more detail then what Instagram's character limit will allow. Will I be as consistent as I used to be when I started Instagram? Probably not as I have many other priorities I will be needing to take care of this year. However, I will make an effort to post as regularly as I can. I have yet to delete my witchcraft/ásatrú/divination account but it won't last for too much longer so keep that in mind.

BLUE SKY

I have officially joined Blue Sky at the end of last year and you can follow me here should you wish to connect with me there. I have chosen Blue Sky as my alternative to Twitter as it feels exactly how Twitter used to be prior to it being taken over and having its name changed. Yes, there are still trolls and spam accounts but not nearly as many as there currently are on Twitter (no, I will not call it by its new name). I don't have too many posts there yet but I will be posting more there as this year goes by. Keep in mind that I will also be posting a lot of language learning and linguistic related content there along with my divination (Tarot, Lenormand, Oracle Cards, Vera Sibilla, etc), Nordic Witchcraft, Ásatrú, and other spiritual content. I will also use it how I see fit so there many be posts completely unrelated to the topics above.

If you would like to contact me via email then there are two options for you. If this is about a language learning or linguist related topic then you can send your message here. If this is about a divination deck review (ex: Tarot, Lenormand, Vera Siblla), Scandinavian Witchcraft, Ásatrú or another spiritual theme (Note: This is NOT an invite to proselytise your beliefs or spread your bigotry.) then you can email me here.

I will update this post if I have any other platforms for you to follow me on. In the meantime, Facebook (my personal one) is only going to be for friends and people I am already connected within my communities going forward. I will not be adding any more friends that I don't already know so if you get your request rejected, then understand that it has nothing to do with you. It is my boundary with social media going forward. Although, I may delete this account later too so I won't link it here.
