    I’m in my 60s. Posting on social media mostly isn’t fun any more, and I don’t really want to put more money in the hands of billionnaire fascists. So Facebook, Reddit and Twitter are gone (I’ve had to keep Messenger as I have friends who only communicate using that platform) and I’ve never bothered with TikTok, Instagram or Snapchat anyway. This platform and Bluesky are the only ones left and I’m mostly a lurker anyway.

      This place feels a low key where you can share conversations. It feels somewhat genuine.

      I don’t feel l am being marketed too or being used as a tool here.

    Constantly having the right-wing views of weapons grade cunts shoved into your eyeballs will do that.

    It is largely unpleasant, deliberately unrewarding yet addictive, occasionally punished, politically slanted towards billionaires, and a privacy nightmare. If anything it’s a testament to the human desire for connection that we’ve used it this long.
