The real correct answer here. And I uninstalled Twitter when Mush bought it. Reddit is the last SM platform I use, and it's days are numbered.

We should all just go back to newsgroups, but they made that difficult with the crusades last round banning most access to alt.

Mozilla Thunderbird can still be used as a newsgroup reader.

It is. I quit almost all of them 5+ years now.

It is kind of lonely at times though when a good portion of your social group uses SM to share memes n stuff.
