It’s an interesting way of arguing that corporate social media is shit, which we all knew and there’s even a term for. Thus the alternatives.

In other words, this sounds a lot like a user error. Of course tech failing too, or succeeding depending on your goal. But still, a solved problem waiting for action.

Iv’e ejected infinite scroll, short form time vampires from my life in 2024, and it feels good. Now I have more time for reading and playing videogames, and I reccomend everyone to do the same.

Maybe because it’s being increasingly monetized by soulless corporations?

TL;DR - my 2024 social media experience was rather pleasurable.

I left twitter and insta by 2017 (more ads and wannabe influencers than actual content). Left fb in 2020 after they marked a clear satire article (that self identified as one) as “misinformation” (really, just the last straw in a long list of obvious manipulation). Left reddit during the exodos. Created a new lemmy username (couldn’t remember my old password). Haven’t looked back.
