    I have not been active on Zuck platforms or Twitter in over 10 years and it is highly recommended. I haven’t been on Reddit since the API changes killed Infinity app. Also recommended. Never touched TikTok or any of the zoomer social media platforms. Extremely recommended.

    Amazingly if you just avoid the cesspit of constant engagement, regardless of your life circumstances, you will be happier.

    Besides, most things that are genuinely funny or useful on Twitter just get screenshotted and shared via other means anyway.

      I was an early beta tester for twitter. Didn’t “get it” then, and I still don’t “get it”.

      I haven’t been on any Zuck platforms ever and left Reddit during the API mess, I also don’t use TikTok or LinkedIN and recommend to all leaving corporate social media.

        Yeah I use tumblr occasionally but I just don’t like the “follow people” model of social media. Communities make for more interesting content in my experience. I’d rather discuss than merely consume and I don’t really care what someone who has great takes on lesbian discourse has to say about a manga I have no intention on reading unless it’s relevant.
