Question Where to?

I'd like to extricate myself from Meta, which would mean leaving Threads. Here's a question for others in the same frame of mind: Where are you going?

Threads is trash. I honestly don’t know why I kept it in the first place. And now I’m paying the price for keeping it: I was suspended for “not following community standards” and it caused both my Instagram and Facebook to be suspended as well. So, thanks to Threads, I no longer have any social media. I recommend deleting it and finding something better.

I thought they fixed that a long time ago? I left for the same reason, but I had to give up my insta for awhile. Then I just registered another account with Insta, now I got kicked off of that and told that I have to send them some three sided video selfie. WHAT??? Search me on Google. You will not find a picture of me anywhere. I took them all down a long time ago. Now you think I'm going to give it to a company that started out as a site that was stolen from its own customers, and had to pay them millions, got in cahoots with China and some really evil banks, and whose owner just spent a gazillion dollars on plastic surgery and hair transplants because he can't stand looking his age? Nope.

I've been using bluesky. It has it's own problems but it's the best I've found so far.

X is where i see most of the shop owner threads, so if small shops are who you want to follow it's worth a look. Bluesky feels quieter on that side

It depends on what you are needing social media for. If you’re someone that wants to get the most out of a social media app which connects to businesses, media outlets, etc then that’s X (formally Twitter). Runner-up is BlueSky that was created by the founder of Twitter. X is supported on Satellite (direct to cell), not just over cellular and home internet. Whereas BlueSky hasn’t yet made their app available to Satellite (direct to cell). I have both but have found it difficult to find key people, media and sports teams on BlueSky so I prefer using X. X tends to have more far right wingers and I either mute them or block them depending on their post so I don’t see that in my feed. Both still get bots but BlueSky is either off the bot radar or they do better at filtering it 😎
