First you said that people should use decentralized platforms. Now you acknowledge that there's nobody of value on those platforms so now you say people should stop wanting to connect in the first place.
I mean, okay? Next time just say social media is a cancer, and don't waste our time moving goal posts.
> that there's nobody of value on those platforms so now you say people should stop wanting to connect in the first place
that's exactly what i said and not a figment of your imagination.
if your social circle mostly exists on instagram like the person that i was replying to mentioned :), then you have no social life. any of these platforms is just an add-on to real social interaction. prioritize the real thing and the platform stops mattering.
the only social circle that truly matters is the geographically close one. no amount of E2EE or fancy chat app will replace being physically present.
