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.

I joined Facebook back when you needed a .edu address, left because I hated it and I hated them stealing my data. I deleted my twitter after king bazinga bought it. Reddit was the API exodus, but the massive numbers of repost bots and awful liberals really had me tired of the fucking place for a long time before that.

My FB feed is 90% random groups and video crap now.
