After i joined the Fediverse, i deleted my accounts on Reddit, Twitter & Facebook a few days later. Yesterday, i deleted TikTok too and i will delete Instagram more or less soon. I hope some friends will change to the Fedi until then.

Ive had enough of all the ads and people just want fame. Make Social Media better!

Good for you, i havent deleted shit, but don't visit them often, changed my habits, dont regret it.

E-pen used to be a joke to measur you eletronic-penis and people would joke about it being you ego and used to measure the shit you did online, now e-pen seems to be real where people measure the number of followers to evaluate a person's worth, we are going in the wrong direction...

Yeah.. todays social media is more a commercial ad platform than social media.

the fediverse is the new 'futuristic' social media since its main goal is to connect people and make social media more social

I don’t want social media.

I want anonymity and discussion, like forums or old reddit.

Depending on how you define social media this sort of platform like Lemmy/Mbin/Sublinks/etc. is still social media. We're still interacting with each other, aka "socialising". It's just that the focus is less on whom you talk with and more on what you talk about.

YMMV though. I get your point - I don't want Facebook/Orkut tier shit either.
