I remember what made me quit facebook, way before it became Meta: the TV serie Person of interest. It gave me a big awarness of the scale of mass surveillance. I already had the project to quit because of Zuck’s shenanigans and the lack of interest i had in the platform, but this was the last straw for me.

    I just got so tired of FB. The addictive cycle, the lack of privacy (I really don’t enjoy everyone knowing when I’m using the fuckin app), all of it. Never looked back.

    I left Reddit around the IPO. My account still exists but mostly just for niche communities like video games from time to time.

    Working on de-googling and focusing on FOSS alternatives.

      Sounds very promising! Feel free to share your favorite google alternatives. I bet we could learn some new ones.
