With the war in Pakistan i had to download reddit, insta and twitter to keep up.

I genuinely despise them so much and going back to non lemmy social media after so long just reminds me of how fucking grateful I am that Lemmy exists.

Bluesky is fine simply bc there is noone there. The people who post moved but the masses didn't.

LinkedIn in lunatics.

Reddit is probably the one ive ended up gating more than any other despite it being the one I could bear pre Lemmy.

Twitter I haven't used much anyways. But feels horrible with the limited use.

Insta is all thirst traps somehow.

but even before Musk took over it was ALWAYS a fundamentally negative force.

Yep! What's hilarious to me is that so many people would post how much they hated Twitter, how it was ruining society, etc. Then Musk gets it, then all of a sudden people say they are gonna stop using it. Ok, well you hated it just as much before, but now you are not gonna use it?

Also, they didn't stop using it. The platform didn't die, like everyone gleefully predicted, and it's still sucks. It sucks equally as bad as before Musk.

I quit twitter long before Musk, and never got back on.
