Though I don’t use those platforms too much (never threads) I think they’re right on moderation and Reddit is wrong.

Give the Peter Tiel behind the bastards series a listen. These ghouls are not “the saviors of civilization” many claim them to be and are only innovating control over us and further entrenching their power. Fuck Silicon Valley

For fuck sake enough of these posts.
Why is it all this sub can talk about? Is this reddit trying to nerf its rivals?

Facebook has entered the X social media and now I can clear some space on my phone.

A fucking how-to on how to do the simplest shit imaginable.
Like, seriously- does TechCrunch honestly believe that the reason people aren’t deleting their social media accounts is because they don’t know how? 🤦

Better to get some free space on phone for games and all rather then drowing in hubs of misinformation and bigotry

Delete reddit.
Just look at most headlines in /technology. Clearly manipulation central.

Know better than to have ever created them in the first place. Yeah, I don’t get any social credit for that I know, but damn it, I told you guys not to go there.

The long term solution is people need a new option for social media… to keep in touch with people and communities. I don’t know what the solution is but hope someone can figure it out.

I marked my account for deletion this morning. Man do they try to keep your data on the way out though.

Kind of sucks I’m an Oculus VR owner. I’ll have to ditch the Quest 3 headset and future headsets they produce.

I love the reddit downmelt when something doesn’t go their way. It’s like watching a kid throw a tantrum.

Ya know, it’s almost like the ultra weathy are a threat. Hmmm.

It’s too bad WhatsApp is main communication tool for my external family. Otherwise Facebook and instagram was deleted before pandemic (right after Cambridge Analytics fiasco).

Blessing be upon you TechCrunch! I believe you have are helping millions here .

I hate that many are having their voices driven out of these spaces, and then these asshat CEOs say what’s left is the real voice of the people. There’s other places to go but I don’t know that they can’t be bought or taken over as well. Liberal newspapers are turning on their readers. The voices of the left wing (and even center-right) are being silenced so quickly.
We are almost at the point that posting “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in the US will get you banned for being pro-LGBTQ. It’s incredible how hard the right is trying to shape the messaging on these platforms.

People are too addicted and feel like they “need” these platforms. I’m really hoping this (and the TikTok ban) is truly the beginning of a sharp decline in social media use so people can get some of their humanity back.
