The Cost
of
Being
Correct

Let's talk about SpaceHey—a relatively small social media platform—the people who use it, and the "friends" I lost there. SpaceHey is a retro, no-frills social network that serves as one of the two spiritual successors (to my knowledge) of the classic MySpace of the late 1990s, with the other being FriendProject. Boasting over one million users, SpaceHey prioritizes privacy, customizability, and community, offering features such as bulletins, blogs, forums, and messaging—while intentionally omitting pages, games, videos, tracking, and personalization commonly found on platforms like Facebook.

The vast majority of SpaceHey users lean politically left, with conservative voices existing as tolerated but largely unwelcome echoes of opposing viewpoints. The community strives to maintain a safe space in which hateful, intolerant, or "adult" content is swiftly identified, and the user is ostracized and reported for removal. Additionally, users who express views contradicting the prevailing narratives of SpaceHey’s majority are not expelled by the site's administrators, but they often find themselves informally shunned.

Now, for the elephant in the room: As you might have guessed, some of my left-leaning contacts on SpaceHey cut ties with me over content I posted. Last November, in a long-deleted thread, I offered an impartial analysis criticizing Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, highlighting failings I believed would hinder Harris' presidential ambitions. Unsurprisingly, it was an unpopular take. Although my assessment remains entirely independent and free of bias, it continues to cost me "friends" on the platform, as I am now clearly (and wrongly) regarded as one of the unwanted conservative voices.

To be clear, I am not a professional political analyst, nor do I work for any political organizations. I’m just a guy with a laptop and a knack for observation—nothing more. As a registered independent voter, I wasn’t rooting for or against any candidate. I simply examined the political landscape, considered the mood and priorities of the American people, weighed each candidate's strengths and weaknesses, and factored in the results of my own informal polling. My conclusion was clear: Donald Trump was set to win decisively, and the reasons were straightforward.

It wasn’t about supporting or opposing Kamala Harris. It wasn’t about championing Donald Trump. It was simply an analysis that led me to say, “Trump is going to win, and it won’t be close.” The signs were obvious: Kamala Harris was struggling from the outset. She lacked the time to recover lost ground, refine her message, distinguish herself from President Biden, and prepare adequately for Fox News reporter Bret Baier’s unexpectedly hostile yet revelatory interview, which exposed critical gaps in her political readiness.

My analysis predicted a decisive victory for #45, and reality confirmed it. So, if anyone chooses to shun me for conducting thorough research and presenting my unbiased conclusions on SpaceHey or elsewhere, I’ll gladly accept their absence and keep moving forward. Life is simply better without those who prioritize validation over accuracy.

Peace out, everyone!
