Go on, take away my first-place prize!

Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down. 

Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls. 

Hello there! Are you tired of modern social media being oversaturated, overstimulating, overwhelming, and leaving you constantly doom scrolling? Do you want a place you can disappear onto and create yourself a little safe haven for yourself away from socmed? I have some very cool places to share with you, that I think should become utilized more!

I myself, have been working on weening myself off of modern social media, there are certain ones I haven't left yet: Tumblr, Bluesky and Toyhouse being the main ones, but they don't have that toxic addictive feeling for me personally. I can step away from them when I want to easily. I had the most difficult time letting go of Xitter, Instagram, Discord and Tiktok for some reason. But I am rid of those thankfully now. So, here are a few options, in categories that I hope you will explore, see if it's up your alley or not! You never know unless you try it first, yknow?
