With the war in Pakistan i had to download reddit, insta and twitter to keep up.

I genuinely despise them so much and going back to non lemmy social media after so long just reminds me of how fucking grateful I am that Lemmy exists.

Bluesky is fine simply bc there is noone there. The people who post moved but the masses didn't.

LinkedIn in lunatics.

Reddit is probably the one ive ended up gating more than any other despite it being the one I could bear pre Lemmy.

Twitter I haven't used much anyways. But feels horrible with the limited use.

Insta is all thirst traps somehow.

I hate them all so much the last one I used and made an account for was Facebook, and that account has stayed entirely unused for about a decade. I can only handle so much stupidity at a time and I hate being disappointed by my friends' uncooked, ignorant opinions so I'd rather be blind and deaf to what they do and say online, I just judge them for what they say and do to me directly...

I don't think Reddit counts as 'social media', it's a message board, a place for pseudonymous debate, but not what I would consider a social media site.
