On getting the hell off of Meta.
I haven't used Instagram in years, except to keep up with a couple of DIY/Home Improvement bloggers who had mostly stopped posting on their blogs and started posting on Instagram around 2019 or so. It'll be the easiest to quit.
I quit Threads shortly after I signed up, seeing as how it mostly seemed to be liberals and leftists engaged in the same kind of toxic circular firing squad that had mostly overtaken Tumblr by 2012, and Twitter by the time that the apartheid hyperloop dipshit bought it in 2022. Sadly, this also seems to be the case on Bluesky, after a month or so of people just being glad to be off Xitter. Gee, it's so nice to know that we all hate each other more than we could ever hate the actual fucking Fascists. What the fuck. Guys, this is why the Fascists win.
I'm going to treat quitting Failbook the same way I quit Livejournal: put up a post asking for people who want to stay in contact to message me with their contact info, and put it down in a spreadsheet. Or maybe start keeping a pen and paper address book again.
I am ALSO going to plug Dreamwidth. Because it would be great seeing people migrate back to this kind of platform again.
