Hello, darlings~ ✨
Welcome to my little slice of internet, a place where I’m finally The Boss!
You know that feeling when you enjoy something, but then it becomes worse and worse? Yeah, that’s social media these days. So I said “fuck it”, and built my own corner of the world!
Why Did I Do This?
So, you might be wondering, why the hell did I go through the trouble of building my own website? What if no one will visit it? What about my current social-media presence? Well, let’s just say, I’ve got a few… concerns.
Tired of Being Handled
You know I exist on many social platforms - Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok… And I understand the appeal. Quick content, instant interaction, the ability to share your life in seconds. But for me it always was like playing Jenga. Insta is for the general audience, so no adult content. Twitter has a very strict limit on how much I can write or add media. Tik-Tok… well, let’s just say their algorithms have the personality of a wet sock.
Every platform has its own little cage of rules:
- That video is okay on X, but it’ll get my TikTok banned.
- On X the photo must be 9:16, but on Insta it must be 4:5, or it’ll be cropped.
- The word “fuck” is okay, but “die” isn’t? WTF is this “unalive” word???
It’s exhausting! I’m not a machine, I’m a free-thinking (and often filthy-thinking!) doll who wants to express herself without a moderator (or even worse - a mindless AI) breathing down my neck.
My Content, My Rules
One of the biggest frustrations is a restriction on the type and the amount on content I can post. I wanna do long reads, post hundreds of photos and long videos. I wanna talk about whatever the hell I want, in the way I want, without hitting a 140-character limit or a 100-second cap.
I wanna post my fetish stuff without thinking of how to squeeze 100 photos into 2-3 posts that only allow like 10 photos each. Share a video of me walking the streets for an hour, without ads interruping it every minute. Share my thoughs about something bothering me or just pour out my heart into some silly topic. I wanna have a real space to express myself the way I want to do it.
The Looming Threat: The Sword of Damocles
This is a big one, honey. Have you ever been on social media and couldn’t seem to find posts from one of the creators you like? Chances are, their account has been deleted for some dubious reason, or “shadowbanned” without explanation.
In an age of information it’s terrifying. My entire presence - years of memories, art, connections, and community - could be wiped out overnight. The idea that some faceless committee or an algorithm error could erase everything I’ve built is my absolute nightmare.
And then there’s the fear of censorship. Most of the platfors I use today are already blocked in my country, and only accessable through VPN. What if VPN’s will get blocked as well? I’d lose connection to my friends and my audience entirely.
A Little Rebellion Called “Self-Hosting”
So, with all that in mind, I made a decision. It’s time for a change. I remember the internet being a free and wild frontier, a digital playground where anyone could build their own little corner. This blog is my rebellion. A tiny, defiant stand for digital freedom and ownership.
I’m taking control. Every post, every comment, every pixel on this page belongs to me. I won’t be told what to say or what content to share. And if this website will go down for some reason, I’ll have a backup to restore it exactly the way it was. :)
What Will Change?
Not a lot, actually. My social media will still be here for quick updates, annoucements, fun posts and memes. I will still use Discord and Telegram for general chatting, and Twitter (God I fucking HATE calling it X), Insta, Bluesky, Tik-Tok and VK as my social-media platforms. I’ll post the announcements there and then re-share them on those platforms.
But this blog will be the hub. My home base. A place to go for deep dives into my projects, uncensored rants, long-form essays on whatever the fuck I’m interested in, and some exclusive content that I couldn’t post elsewhere.
Thanks for Reading
So, thank you for taking the time to read this little manifesto. Though, I know what I do is not “trendy”, it’s a personal choice for my comfort, freedom and safety. I’m excited to have this new space to grow and share.
Don’t be strangers, send me a message on your thoughts about this experiment of mine or write a comment under the announcement for this post. And most importantly… stay tuned for what’s coming next! I’ve got a few things planned, and let’s just say they’re not gonna fit into a 5-second reel. 😉💖
Until next time,
Ella
