Fair enough. I only interact with Lemmy, nebula and dropout, so I don’t really see that side of things (the few YouTube things I can’t get on nebula are science-related, so they’re fairly unlikely to join the Turd Reich)
You’re wiser than me, then. I left most of social media as well and before I left, there was a lot of toxic shit going on on those sites too. Lemmy isn’t much better in that regard, but I prefer this open source setup over big silicon Valley sites that surveil everything you do. Youtube is the only big American social media platform I have yet to find the backbone to leave entirely behind. Mostly because there are a few podcasts on there, that I love and follow and I can only get the video recordings on youtube, so eh.
I hope I’ll be able to detach as much as you someday, my friend. I think it is better for the soul and nervous system in the long run!
