Cuz the comments throught Lemmy/Piefed seems to indicate that literally every user on here is a FOSS/Dencentralization Purist and has 100% abandoned mainstream platforms.
I wonder if this is actually true or just a small minority of users being overrepresented.
I don’t, I quit Facebook almost a decade ago and then Reddit when they did the API bullshit. I do still end up on Reddit sometimes through search results but I nuked my account and will never create another one. I’m not exactly a purist about FOSS or decentralized platforms but corpo social media is dead to me.
Started on FB when it was limited to .edu email addresses. It seemed different back then. Backed off around 2011 when oversharing was the biggest concern. My last post I can remember was in 2013, other than a goodbye post in 2022 or so when I fully deleted my socials.
Got a Twitter account in 2010. Made one post, a PM to a friend saying I had signed up, then never went back until I deleted the account at the same time as FB.
