    The collapse of X should’ve been the movement to get rid of social media, not replace it with another identical platform

      …he said on social media…

      Okay, so it’s a link aggregate, but still.

      Why everyone’s so happy about BlueSky and Threads though is what pisses me off, and it’s that’s they are in the safe arms of a corporate daddy.

      Submissive little shites.

        You’re not wrong about Lemmy also being social media, but I view it as my methodone for Reddit. Long term I think I will get rid of Lemmy too.

          I think giving it up is sort of a cop out. It’s like saying because all new movies suck, that you should stop watching films.

          The good thing about Mastodon I feel is that people are more sincere than what you’ll find here, or even on Threads.

          I also think Beehaw has a good idea by being strict. If you dislike the brainrot, remove the brainrot. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
