It’s not … people think it is… but i left Facebook, insta, Twitter and etc and I still talk to friends… I still talk to family…
I don’t get in pointless arguments or support racists and facists.
All and all it’s win win.
Comment on Twitter / X is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it.

That’s still stunningly more people still using it than they deserve. I guess it’s hard to create new social networks.

Fascists are pretty sure that “free speech” means youre forced to listen to them and if you choose to ignore them their or call them on their shit then their free speech is being abridged.

Isn’t this assuming “active daily users” equate to people? Wouldn’t it stand to reason that “active daily users” are simply bots Musk has allowed to proliferate throughout the platform?

A lot of people I talk to just don’t care about social media anymore. Either deleted/deactivated profiles, or just stopped being there. It’s all either corporate bs, fake engagement, ragebait, or you’re psychologically manipulated into scrolling through content you don’t even enjoy

Which is interesting because you and I both on social media interacting. Are we here because of the lack of algorithms/corporate bullshit?

Part of why I liked reddit was that the site was, in my experience, content-first rather than user-first. Social media like Instagram feels very centered around the users trying to get likes and subscribes, trying to gain a following, and that kind of bullshit. On reddit (and here) I pretty much never look at someone’s name. No one feels like they’re trying to build a following or a brand. It was just a place for people to talk about Elden Ring or whatever.
I never really used facebook so I can’t speak to that authoritatively, but remember when they tried to see if they could make everyone sad? And somehow no one went to jail over it?
But I’m an old man who yells at clouds. I don’t know if that’s how other people use social media.

That is one of the reasons why I enjoy this platform, so far. I feel like when something is posted, I can have a proper conversation about what’s happening. And a polite one, on top of that

I think I’m the same way? I know I much rather build my feed into something I want to read as opposed to what the algorithm thinks I want to read.
