I stopped using social media. Facebook was easy, just deleted it. Instagram was step by step, first I unfollowed all the pages that I don't know personally. Then I only used the "Following" timeline. When I only had a new photo in my feed every other day, I realized that this platform had nothing to offer me. I left Twitter when Mr. X comes around and switched to Mastodon. And I don't think I have to explain to anyone here why I no longer use Reddit...
... he says on social media ;)
Yeah, i know. But Lemmy don't feel like Social Media to me... More like a Internet forum.
Definition wise, it‘s clearly social media. I get it though, the corporate giants feel more rage bait-y due to the algorithms they employ.
