What's the last straw that made you quit commercial social medias (Meta,TwitterX, etc...)? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Stop using my Facebook in Covid, most of what I saw was shit about Covid being fake, saw good friend from high school falling for it and realized that the algorithm was tailored to do just that so I delete it shortly after

Stop using Instagram last month. Keep seeing the same shit over and over and when I start flagging it the app revert to show me thirst traps and conspiracy shit. I miss my antifacist bro over there, the dogs and all the illustrators I had followed. So if you know where they at

Thinking of deleting Reddit because my regional sub is cesspool of people thinking they’re the left but are spewing the same Trump argument about immigration but the RPG community is lively there
