BREAKING - Tiktok has now SHUT DOWN SERVICES in the United States, noting “A law banning Tiktok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Tiktok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

Social media peaked in 2012/2013, before just before recommendation algorithms became a thing. Everything became insufferable afterwards.
Lemmy is nice though
TBH, I found FB insufferable already in 2008, when I deleted my back-then 1 y/o account.
Agree, I felt the bad effects of FB around then. It was just so pointless.
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 those virtual DOM-hacking popups was great, and that’s a measurable change.
