Comment on Why have so many people stopped posting on social media?

I’m in my 60s. Posting on social media mostly isn’t fun any more, and I don’t really want to put more money in the hands of billionnaire fascists. So Facebook, Reddit and Twitter are gone (I’ve had to keep Messenger as I have friends who only communicate using that platform) and I’ve never bothered with TikTok, Instagram or Snapchat anyway. This platform and Bluesky are the only ones left and I’m mostly a lurker anyway.

This place feels a low key where you can share conversations. It feels somewhat genuine.
I don’t feel l am being marketed too or being used as a tool here.

add to the fact that these platforms are still relatively small so I can recognize usernames thus making it feel more personal I suppose?
Also I run my own instances of everything in the fediverse so I have more control of what and whom I want to see/hear from. If you’re a person I don’t agree with and have negative opinions then I can easily block you from everything.
