It bothers me when people think of social network use as addiction. If you went to a bar, restaurant, work or school you wouldn't see it as an addiction. I think that seeing social media as addictive is especially harmful when Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok use it to do immoral things. They hide behind the "but they're addicts anyway, so what does it matter?" Social networks are not addictive. They're compelling.
Does this mean that married people are addicts, to each other? Think the absurdity of calling social media addictive. It devalues our online communities to use such words.
On mastodon and calckey migrating from instance to instance is easy. I don't see it as a feature on kbin yet.
With Kbin, Calckey, Mastodon, lemmy, Hugo and more we can. We don't need to be trapped within the social media giants, especially after what happened to Instagram, Twitter, and now Reddit. Now is the time when we need to revert to the habit of using community websites, rather than social media giants.

In the current era when you install a new web browser it will ask you which old browser you want to import your data from. It will also allow you to create an account with the browser company to keep it synched. You can swap browsers daily if you like. It's relatively quick to do.
