Banning isn’t the solution. Thankfully this means less yanks on tiktok now.

As and European, I sincerely envy you. Death to these crappy social networks.

Unfortunately they will most likely migrate to Instagram as a result, which isn’t good at all especially considering their recently hate speech policy changes targeted towards LGBTQ people and immigrants.

I’ve seen a large amount go to Xianhongshou or whatever it’s called, which also doesn’t seem very friendly towards queer groups but not to the extent of insta.

It’s not that they do that because they dislike social networks though

The reason behind is not important. The effect is a net positive.

Social media peaked in 2012/2013, before just before recommendation algorithms became a thing. Everything became insufferable afterwards.

TBH, I found FB insufferable already in 2008, when I deleted my 1 y/o account.

That’s kind of my feeling too, although it’s dangerously close to “better back in my day” given my age.
The period after they shut down browser popups but before they invented vitrual DOM-hacking popups was great, and that’s a measurable change.
