If by "mourn" you mean "tap-dance on its fucking grave," then sure!

I just moved to Miami and don't know where to meet groups of like-minded people. There is nothing on MeetUp, but there are groups on Facebook. I hate that I had to sign into that garbage fire for the first time in years. My whole feed is filled with "suggested posts" of people I don't know nor things I give a shit about.

I mean, you did move to Miami.. why are you expecting sophistication?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Personally, if I moved to Miami, I would expect this at the very least.

Yeah, the other day I had to wade past fucking stacks of junk that doesn't apply to or interest me, there was a whole wall of stuff that makes no sense at all for me, adverts for services I'll never use and even study areas that I'm not ever going to need because I'm not at school! Fuck libraries we should burn them all down, how dare they don't serve and cater to me and me alone!

I mean, I've been rooting for the demise of social media for nearly 20 years. I don't know why I'd be mourning.
