i'm not angry at social media or anything!! i just really want my own space in the web for expressing myself and for posting all my art and programming snippets. i could potentially build a website and use github to host it, is that good?? even if it's not a known website, i still would like it. again, i am not mad or sad with social media but.. i think some of it is taking a lot of my time!! i'm going to be honest tho, on my reddit account i just got to 1k karma!! because i've posted art and memes people have upvoted! but oh well, thank you

They're not exclusive.

I have a website (check my profile) and I also post here. One is my personal space, like my virtual home (like my home, I pay for it) the other is a space where I can share content and participate in open discussions when I fancy doing so.

i’m going to be honest tho, on my reddit account i just got to 1k karma!!

What is karma worth today? Ask your banker how well karma trades against dollars and see what you can you buy with 1k karma, or with 7.4K karma... yep, I just logged back into my reddit account to check how much karma I had in my reddit-bank account :p

It's worthless. It's just a gimmick and a trick to keep people wasting even more of their time. Like you said:

i think some of it is taking a lot of my time!!

It does. And not some of it, most of it.

Focus on what matters, which is not some virtual reward that has zero value.
