What's the last straw that made you quit commercial social medias (Meta,TwitterX, etc...)? (lemmy.ml)

I remember what made me quit facebook, way before it became Meta: the TV serie Person of interest. It gave me a big awarness of the scale of mass surveillance. I already had the project to quit because of Zuck's shenanigans and the lack of interest i had in the platform, but this was the last straw for me.

Musk unbanned Trump from Twitter.

My family relied on Facebook messenger for communication for a long time so I only just recently deleted it and Instagram after Zuck announced hate speech was explicitly allowed

Setup a matrix instance with a meta bridge and use that to slowly get rid of meta altogether. Works both for messenger and Instagram dms.

Didn’t realize there was a meta bridge to messenger. That’s dope

Thankfully my family shifted to iMessage a while ago and at least that’s encrypted and doesn’t support the meta business. I deleted all of my Meta accounts already
