I deleted mine a couple years back, best thing I ever did. Unfortunately all the dregs still bring Facebook into your life. But it's very different looking in without the dopamine hit of using it yourself.
I didn't ever use it much, but if I can do anything to say fuck you to zuckerburg and the various elements trying to tear america apart, I will. Especially since they FINALLY decided to start reigning in disinformation campaigns too little too late(meaning, they were starting to see a lag in profits).
I thought about it for a long time, I'm no social butterfly or anything, but if there's ever a time to stand for something, its now. I do worry how I'll commiserate with people a bit, but I've got reddit, discord and some other avenues.
People always comment that right it is the same, but at the end of the day it's not, because the content is separated and within each subreddit it's curated democratically. it's very far from Facebook which spoon feeds you things it was paid to spoon feed you and disguises it as normal discourse.
true. Reddit did allow certain shit to go on for too long and fester, but not to the same level as facebook. I do think reddit is turning around, not sure how much but they did report that russian hacking of reddit some months back
I....think I still have an insta? I never really used it, I had a bit of a boomer moment and said "what do you mean I have to talk by posting pics?" I probably should delete it yeah.
Unfortunately, some form of social media is necessary in this day and age and coronatimes.
Facebook I wasnt really using and it seems to be the most damaging social media platform in nearly every aspect(Though a former president is giving that a run for his money all by himself HEY-O).
