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.
Does it even do its job in this regard?
I’m only working now because someone browsed my linked in and asked if I’m open to contract work.
kind of. looking for a new job without it is harder.
not because they are essential for networking but because they positioned themselves as gatekeepers of employment.
the thing i want the most is for some industrious hacker to take it down forever, the world will be better off without it.
