I just want social media to end already. The centralization of internet content into the hands of 3-4 gatekeepers has been terrible for quality and independent thought.

Blocking social media on my networks has made this so evident. There's SO much news and information silo'd off on just a handful of platforms it's insane.

I haven't blocked Reddit yet, but I feel that would basically set me back to the stone ages.

So you should support Mastodon and ActivityPub.

I support investing socially in the real world and my community

Internet makes the communication across large distances much easier and can't be replaced by personal communication.

The internet != social media

[fsflover]

How else are you suggesting to participate in large communities?

Can nostr be a good alternative too?
