Thanks for the reminder to delete my Instagram account. Though I've never posted anything there, I've used it to follow some people.
Is it too much to hope that all of Meta crashes and burns? It's infuriating seeing Meta, and corporations like them, harvest all of our information...
What I can't figure is... who sits down and thinks "fuck Elon Musk and Twitter, I'm sick of this bullshit" and then follows that logic with "you know what I need more of in my life? Fuckin' FACEBOOK, yeah."
Yes it does feel like swapping a ticket for the Titanic with a ticket for the Lusitania.
