Cuz the comments throught Lemmy/Piefed seems to indicate that literally every user on here is a FOSS/Dencentralization Purist and has 100% abandoned mainstream platforms.

I wonder if this is actually true or just a small minority of users being overrepresented.

I keep a fake Facebook profile around because some businesses and such don't have any online preference besides their Facebook page so if I want to know about deals and events they're running that's the only place I can find them

I do admit that I occasionally get sucked into scrolling through the feed, but especially over the last few months it's becoming increasingly full of nothing but AI slop

I never really had much of a social media presence besides that. Was on Reddit for a long time, deleted my account over the API bullshit, once upon a time I had a twitter, never used it much, deleted it when musk took over. Never had an Instagram or tiktok.
