Asklemmy

I quit most of my FB usage years ago, when I realised how toxic it was... and Zuck has ways been creepy as hell. I sometimes still visit the website to check on people, but it's usually only once every few months or so.
I could feel Tiktok's algorithm manipulating me in real-time, so I deleted that not long after trying it for the first time.
I stopped using Instagram when they suddenly appeared to mess up the algorithm on purpose, so that people would buy ads to advertise their art and whatever else they posted.
I still use X sometimes to follow video games and some art. I muted Musk and other Russia loving propaganda bots. I'm left wing on some issues and right wing on others, but I can't stand the constant ragebait propaganda. I also find it annoying that I have to block onlyfans bots every time I open the app.

I killed Instagram and Whatsapp recently when Mark started buddying up to Trump.

Deleted Twitter shortly after Elon took over, which bummed me out since it was a good place for software development information.

Quit reddit after the API ordeal when I didn't want to use the official client.

I was a long time user of each platform, and I was bummed when I had to leave each.

Now I have bluesky, lemmy, mastodon, and some occasional discord servers I hangout on. I miss Instagram as a time waster, but I'll survive without funny dog videos and fitness models.

I quit Reddit when they killed third party apps, I quit Twitter when Musk bought it.

Reddit API change, I never use any others
