GAB IS DEAD

Long live the next deep state controlled "alternative" social media platform.

 
I used to use the Gab platform to find memes, but it was never any good for much else, and I had long given up on it. There was very little interaction, the platform never worked well, and most of the content was moronic Americentric posts going on about their clown show politics, with endless memes about puppets like Donald Chump or Joe Bidet.

Gab had long been in decline but it really went downhill rapidly in 2023 - I had a quick look today and as of March it is all over. There are no good memes on there any more. The owner of Gab started charging membership fees to post images from March 1st and that really was the final straw for Gab.

🔥 "$19.50 for a 12-month subscription! 🔥 Your paid sub gets you full access to my content archives, commenting on all articles, all paid posts, my weekly Goody Bag (the best stuff I’ve read that week), and other goodies I might add later"
 
Gab was once considered to be a free speech alternative to sites like Twitter and Facebook. When it first launched, it had an idealistic glow about it, as people thought it might become a viable community that could challenge the censored sites. But the glow wore off quickly, and Gab has been in a downward spiral for years. Recent events have made it clear that the final end of the site is near.
 
Andrew Torba, the owner of Gab, announced that a pro membership would be required to post images on the site. That came after the end of Gab TV and other initiatives that didn’t generate significant revenue for Torba. The announcement about the image posting indicates severe financial problems for Gab.
 
I predict this could well be another boost for Facebook, where the memes are now getting better by the day and with some creative spelling, pretty much any content can be zipped under the radar of their AI censorship.

LEARNING TO LOVE FACEBOOK

I used to get really pissed off with Facebook but then I thought, OK it's a controlled platform, but it works better than any other social media platform, what can I do on it? - So I learned how to spell like a retyred and take more care about what images I posted, and I've been having a good time for the past four months. It's the only social media I'm still using this year which saves time too!

WHY I LIKE MEMES

 


In the blink of an eye a meme can transmit about as much information as the viewer is ready to absorb without taking hours to write like a full length blog post does, and there is no danger of boring anyone's legs off.

JESUS DOES NOT APPROVE

Jesus is not down with this sort of thing

The joys of a continuous feed - Something I like about Blogger is that because the feed is continuous, flowing through from one post to the next, it is perfectly set up to throw in random images, art, lolpics, memes and gifs to make the whole thing a total crack up!

THE END OF AN ERA

On the last day of 2023 I did my final post on my old Wordpress.org blog www.frot.co.nz 


It's been online since January 1 2016, so it's eight years old now, and has over 750 posts. But it is heavily blacklisted, and the hits have dropped from a peak of over 2000 a day in 2017 to less than 100 a day in 2023, which isn't very inspiring.

WordPress seems to be getting endlessly more complex, and I wonder now if the whole WordPress platform is yet another deep state psyop, because let's face it, with over 455 million sites, or over 30% of all websites currently online using WordPress, it's highly unlikely that it isn't.

 From this point on I want to move to a much simpler blogging system, and let go of all my old ideas of "real" blogging, which seems to have become a never ending backlog of updates, combined with a sense that nothing I post online is as good as what I was posting before. That is probably true, but there is no point dwelling on my failures.

This past year I have started to see the entire internet as being very similar to the Steemit and Hive blockchains, totally controlled by corrupt insiders. It's safe to say I'm unlikely to ever again get 2000+ hits a day on any of my blog posts or earn $200+ for any blockchain posts. I did occasionally reach those heights in the past, but that was more than five years ago and the glory days of blogging seem to be long over.

So I've decided to quit posting new content on WordPress. It was probably about time to put the FROT blog out to pasture anyway, but I'll leave it online as an eight year record of my 750+ blog posts from January 2016 to December 2023.

From now on I'll only be posting my new content on www.sift.co.nz

Yes, that is a Blogger blog, and Blogger is owned by Google. But ultimately, Google seem to have censored the entire internet, and Blogger is easy to use and convenient. If my posts are going to get barely any traffic, I might as well use a convenient deep state platform (Blogger) rather than an inconvenient deep state platform (WordPress)

BLOG WHATEVER AND WHENEVER IN 2024

 IS BLOGGING A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME?


I've probably been wasting my time blogging for years now. Back in 2016 it was an exciting and developing hobby, I was improving my writing, earning money, interacting online, & getting thousands of hits. But all that seems to be all over now, these days I'm blacklisted online, have almost no audience, the entire internet appears to be is mainly all AI, and all the blockchain platforms (Steemit, Hive, Flote, Blurt etc), are dead or dying, so realistically I have two choices, continue posting just for myself without caring about hits, (because let's face it, I will be getting bugger all of them anyway), or quit altogether.

I do think blogging helps me to get my ideas in order, improves my writing, and the presentation of my art and photography, and posting online works like having a muse, so it potentially makes me more creative. But if I continue blogging I need a new approach. 

Continuing to do long posts or updates of my old posts is getting boring. That is no longer creative. Previously I have put up with doing all sorts of things with some sort of idea that they needed to be done in order to "complete" them. But this past year, watching my mum dying at the same time as watching our country collapsing has really brought home to me that our time is very limited. And so is my energy. Doing things for completionism is a waste of my limited time and energy.


Blogging (like everything else) needs to be entertaining to make it worthwhile, and I can't really be arsed doing long blog posts or assembling great big collections of images any more. 

There is probably no awesome or revolutionary solution to this, so I'll probably just CONTINUE DOING SHORT BLOG POSTS, AND POSTING ANYTHING I FEEL LIKE, SORT OF LIKE AN ONLINE DIARY, which will probably achieve nothing of significance, but I do still have an impulse to do that. From this day on my aim is to post whatever I feel like, no rules, no completionism and no tosses given.

THE TOSSER

Is it possible to do a blog post by tossing a coin?

This post is a strange experiment… Sometimes I have brilliant ideas but end up wondering if I'm a complete fruitloop.

TOSSPOST

HEADS I start with a picture of a man shagging a donkey, TAILS a donkey shagging a man.

image.png

HEADS I toss off another five random images, TAILS I post a verse from the bible with a photo of Madonna.

image.png

image.png

HEADS a drawing of a fat man. TAILS a drawing of a sphincter.

image.png

HEADS a picture of a hot babe with a V8. Tails a libtard with pink hair and an electric bike.

image.png

HEADS just post the libtard pic anyway. TAILS a picture of Adolf Hitler in drag.

image.png

HEADS eat my cherry yoghurt pudding, TAILS I watch a video of MC5.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74jS3dW0DtE


HEADS I post this pile of utter crap, TAILS I delete it and deny all knowledge

WTF? – clearly I have serious issues to work out with myself….

Now just watch that MC5 video, it’s awesome

MERRY XMAS TO ALL MY REGULAR READERS

 For some reason I still keep assuming I have any regular readers. That is highly unlikely. But this is not really the time of the year for blogging or looking at blog posts anyway. There is lots of other stuff going on.

Just in case anyone is looking at this blog - MERRY XMAS!

Remember to eat with care and restraint over the Xmas season

SIMPLE BLOGGING ON A CONTROLLED INTERNET

 From this point on I want to move to a much simpler blogging system and leave behind all my old ideas of "real" blogging, which have come to feel like a never ending backlog of updates, and a sense that nothing is as good as before. 

I have come to view the entire internet as being like the Steemit and Hive blockchains, totally controlled by corrupt insiders, and it's safe to say I will probably never again get 2000+ hits a day on my blog or earn $200+ for a blockchain post. I occasionally did reach those heights in the past but that was more than five years ago for both examples and those days seem to be over.


The plan for my www.frot.co.nz WordPress blog is to make it an archive and pretty much stop updating it, other than backing up my new Blogger posts once a month. My days of doing big long posts are over and Blogger is quicker and easier to do short posts on. 
Neither platform is getting much traffic these days so it's all just about my own creative expression, rather than trying to impress any virtual audience. It's probably about time to put FROT out to pasture, leaving it as an eight year record of my 850+ blog posts from January 2016 to December 2023, and that is fine.


And the plan for this new SIFT blog - In the simplest way possible I want to move on from FROT to SIFT. In some ways the name change is symbolic, reminding me it's time to move on. 

I'd like to keep doing regular short posts on SIFT, and also to start signing my art SIFT rather than FROT, so some of my SIFT posts may include these pictures. 

They may include whatever I feel like really, that is the whole point. I want to let go of the outdated ideas that I'm catering to some sort of audience, or that I'm aiming to make immediate changes to the state of things, as both are pretty unlikely in a controlled AI internet. But I can be chill about that and still post some stuff anyway.

IS IT TIME TO MOVE ON?

The end of the year is always a good time to reassess how everything is going and decide what to do next.

This year I came back to using Blogger and still found it to be the same convenient and easy to use blogging platform it was a decade ago. I've been posting content on it for the past six months. BUT... (and this is a BIG BUTT)


 There is virtually no traffic to this blog, and the hits are not only not going up, they are actually going down, from bugger all, to 5/8 of fuck all. Looking at that I wondered again if there is any point posting on Blogger. I have decided to fix that problem by removing the hit counter.

When I checked out other platforms they were a complete clown show really, although that seems to be the nature of about 99% of the entire internet, so I shouldn't be surprised.

 I will continue posting content here, to an almost non-existent audience,with my www.sift.co.nz URL pointing at this ghost of a blog. It's a shame this platform seems to be a dead zone these days, as is blogging in general, but I guess that was always Google's intention.

SIFTY FEEDBACK

Here is some classic feedback from my old blog!

“The people have spoken, the bastards.” Mark Twain


Once again I have been let into the mysterious workings of your mind. Surely no goat could mind control that! – BL


Your a dangerous stupid shit. The cancer industry may well be a scam, but I don’t think its even as close as your crackpot mind at thinks it is. A good chunk of that cancer industry scam is your natural health mates – RP


Hey – Big ups from an old old man. I don’t surf much anymore – but what fun this site is – CC


I’m intrigued about many of your topics mentioned – consumerism, Monsanto, Dow, Du Pont, Bayer, 911, genetic engineering; those topics are not a staple of the American news diet. I believe they’ve affected our ability to exist in America, not to mention what they’ve done to the planet. (I’m sure Condoleeza Rice is analyzing my email right now and I’ll probably have a Guantanimo vacation soon for the asking) – BS



First of all thank you for informing me that there’s such a conspiracy (it really is) about the main search engine. It’s the same for wahooo and ciul and all others. Actually it’s all the same, there’s just one search engine in the world.. there’s no yho, no alta vissta, no bindd, no ask, no iANDEXX.ru, no nothing, is all ggl. THE SAME RESULTS EVERYWHERE! Just tipe “fuck ggl (real name of the s.engine)” in ciul and you’ll se what results if gives – and this should be the biggest competition of ggl. They back themselves up.

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelon_(signals_intelligence)

ggl censor the words “fakk yhoo” how do we expect to find reliable information about alternative – energy, alt. fuels, alt_medicine, alt_searchengines and other.

I can’t find reliable web sites giving information about the ggl cen–sorsh-ip ether so if you know any pls send it to me – NH


Dude, you need to move into the 21st century. Seriously – RW


I LIKE YOUR DIET BUT I NEED MORE COKE THAT YOU RECOMMEND AND I DRINK BOOZE VERY SLOWLY. BEST OF LUCK FROM BIG AL, THE FAT MAN – AS 


hi dude, im not sure if i really liked all the info on your pages, but what i had appreciated is your honesty and yourself. Would like to meet u one day – Just one question: do u like mountains??

PS sorry for the short, scribbled style of this mail but just recently i broke my right hand while trying to slide a stair’s handrail with my bike… – CN


Thanks for the dow info on your site. i’ve been looking into it a lot more lately. my mom had leaking implants and nursed my brother and I on them for almost a year each. now we’re all decrepid, insane, and unhealthy but I guess it’s okay because if it weren’t for my mom having big fake boobs, my dad might not have noticed her in the titty bar, knocking her up, then
she giving birth to me and my brother 🙂

The microwave thing is interesting, too. I’ll have to go back and read the rest of your site after my brain repairs from stumbling across your keyword spam google page. I’m going to have to steal your image of the guy getting his balls kicked and plaster it on forums full of idiotic teenagers who get on my nerves though… i hope you don’t mind. – MP


Send me a pic of you naked and l’ll think about it – MC


Hi, we appreciate your help in lobbying to revoke this silly and harmful helmet law, thanks – PM


Is it my mutton chops or your navel that’s giving them wood? – TE


I am writing to you regarded your very insightful website, and information provided on Apricot Kernels. I would greatly appreciate your permission in using some of the information you have provided for an article I’m writing on the subject, in “What Medicine?” magazine, a nationwide publication within the UK. I hope to hear from you soon. – SB


Hello my friend, We are liking to reading your daily blog thoughts on the internet. The internet is new here in our town. I live in Thule, Greenland. It is cold here, always. We are not riding bikes very much, I have a reindeer, Umlaut – he and I go riding together often. Sometimes he gives me the kissing with open mouth. It is dark night here very much. Umlaut is often a comfort. I am wishing that I could be riding bikes and doing death verts in Wellington.
Where can I post my opinions on your blog pages? Thankyou – EB


After further examining your website I have concluded that you have a terrible habit of only looking at one side of the issue – JS.


How can I contact you? It’s very hard for me as I’ve got Alzheimer’s disease in the first place, but usually I can find the place where a web page has a ‘feedback’ page that tells the email address of the person putting it up!

Hey, I just added your Cocacola info as a link to my home page, and I’m coming back to read more of your siftings. We need more bloodhounds like you! Regards MD


You are such a morron! – coca-cola isn’t as bad as you think because it has aspartame; i’m a diabetic and i eat aspartame instead of sugar with al my meals and I haven’t had any complaints yet. I”ve been doing this for at least 15 years. So please, just stop making people paranoide about everything they eat or drink!! – NM


Yours is a very credible site that my students will enjoy – GL


You have clearly nailed your colours to the mast, and objectivity is not amongst them – BB


I just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed reading through your site. It’s nice to find a site well laid out and with no misspellings! You have a lot of useful information and a very logical mind. I especially liked your article on Bike helmets. The other articles kept my attention for over an hour! Nice stuff! – KS


Basically i think you suck ass, why? because u hold some grudge against the coke company probably cause you ran out of coke at your house. ur making up this bullshit about coke being bad for your and having to much sugar in it so people will stop buying it so you can have all the coke for yourself. well im not falling for it! im going to buy as much coke as i can just to make you suffer asshole! oh yea, and ill be thinking of you when im guzzuling down my next fridgepack loser – BC


The U.S.A have also released GE Microbes on Mars the evil Nazi Bastards! – AH


One mustn’t break rules or attempt to trick Google, lest they awaken the almighty search engine gods and be struck down by their wrath – JP


I hope you haven`t been rendering inedible perfectly good vegetables – GE


your right, it is a good idea to drink soda. oh yea and how could i not i mean if i bring my empty coke can to six flags its buy one ticket get one free so holy shit, drink coke= ride sweet coasters. sweet! – BC


Please let me know how you get your website within the top 5 rankings on www.google.com it is very vital that my website will be in the top 5 and so far my Organisation has limited funds which are all my own, it will be unlikely i get a grant or any financial help from anyone in time – AH

To me you sound like every other conspiracy theorist I’ve ever heard, in that you will utterly dismiss huge swathes of evidence and credible scientific input because it doesn’t suit your paranoid worldview.

I think it’s just as preposterous that you would think that a bunch of internet gossip contradicts the mass of evidence that the events of 9/11 actually happened – OB


As a general physician, I am highly concerned about the rampant use of coke and pepsi products for a simple reason: pH.

The blood must “religiously” maintains a basic pH of 7.35-7.45. Since a blood pH of less than 7.2 can result in death by cardiac arrest or metabolic acidosis, the body essentially “robs Peter to pay Paul” to ensure the blood pH remains within strict limits.

Since the pH scale is logarithmic, the pH of coke (about 3.4) is TEN THOUSAND times (10 to the 4th power) more acidic than the normal blood pH of about 7.4. Studies have shown that these acidic drinks increase the urinary excretion of calcium; it only makes simple sense that the source of this calcium is from bone since an increased level of calcium, absorbed from the bones, helps to buffer the pH of the blood to maintain that life-promoting pH of about 7.4.

Bottom line? Coke is hazardous to your health — no bones about it – AK


Hello, Im from the Society For The Preservation of Mexico’s Premium Nature Resource, The Spotted Back Spinc Mule. In the past SFTPoMPNR,TSBSM has campaigned for open trail use to all spotted back mules, or as we like to call them in the trade, SPHINCTERS. The SPHINCTERS get a hard time in their natural habitat of lower south west Mexico where Donkey stable boys often ritualistical sodomize them and tickle them with their engorged tadgers.


Please support our Ideals and get open trail use for the SPHINCTERS on all Mountain Pass’s Hill’s and City Streets, through your help only, you can aid in the preservation of the dirty smelly spinc mule and continue the legacy of love for the Mexican way of life. Thank you goodnight we love you all – EP
