Never used Facebook much. Nor Myspace before it. Seemed like it had some obvious pitfalls that everyone else was ignoring.
Used Twitter for a little while, but it was just making me mad. Then horrible guy bought it, so I deleted the already abandoned account.
Instagram also seemed like a source of feeling bad, so I never used it much.
I left reddit recently. It had some good content but the ownership sucks. With general Internet search getting bad, losing reddit sucks. Like, I searched yesterday for how to disable a setting in some app, and landed on some AI slop website that told me to write a letter to my local news station.
So this is all that's left for me. It's frustrating that most people don't give a shit and will just move on to the next private platform. I had a friend who was generally smart and successful, but she just didn't give a shit about this kind of thing. She wanted her easy entertainment, so she was on all the major platforms. Mastodon "didn't have good content" so she didn't use it.
