My husband refuses to call it social media anymore, he just refers to it as Counterfeit Community. I think it’s an apt term.

Great piece, thank you for sharing your thoughts here!

I think we can live without social media. I never built that much of a platform for my writing, so what would you suggest to writers who still feel like it's a required part of the machine? I still use social media, but not as much as I did in the past - for many reasons, some you listed here. I am still writing in a small but faithful way. Although I have slowed in recent weeks to be more thoughtful and considerate about who I am writing for. I don't mean to speak negativity or anything from the evil one over myself when I say this, but I don't think I'm the type of writer to be a best seller or sell tons and tons of books. I feel called to ministry, so I'm just trying to be faithful in small ways to steward that call. Not sure what I am trying to ask, but perhaps how would you encourage someone to be faithful in their call or pursuit of writing without social media?
