Places You Won’t Find Me

While there are plenty of Matt Steins on the internet and out in the world, here’s where you won’t find this one:

  • Facebook
  • Goodreads
  • Instagram
  • Pinterest
  • Threads
  • TikTok
  • Twitter/X (archive)

Things I Don’t Like

  • Being subscribed to anything I didn’t consent to.
  • Ads.
  • Breathless hype.
  • Implicit expectations.
  • GitHub spelled as “Github.”
  • Having to install an app to do something that shouldn’t need an app.
  • Unsolicited offers, questions, or DMs from strangers that don’t attempt to make any personal connection.
  • Arguing without listening or humor.
  • Being flagged by the behavior police again without listening or humor.
  • Being addressed as “bro” without irony.
  • Phone trees and chat bots.
