Great article. One of the best things i’ve done in recent years is delete the Facebook app from my phone. I’ve noticed how “boring” pixelfed is in comparison to Instagram, which is great, because it doesn’t suck my time away!

This quote really disgusted me:

Leaked internal presentations from Facebook (obtained by whistleblower Frances Haugen in 2021) revealed that the company knew its platform was causing measurable harm, especially to young users, yet downplayed these findings.

How irresponsible, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, either.
