The best time to delete social media apps was 10 years ago. The second best time is now.

At least when it comes to Meta, I have nothing to delete. In 2021 I deleted my WhatsApp and in 2022 deleted my Facebook account that wasn't used for over a year anyways.

The best time to switch to the Fediverse was 10 years ago. The second best time is now.

Seriously, I've made the following replacements:

  • Twitter to Mastodon
  • Facebook to Friendica (though this isn't as active as the other Fedi platforms)
  • Goodreads (never had it) to Bookwyrm
  • Tiktok (only used it once, no account) to Loops
  • Instagram to Pixelfed
  • Discord to Fluxer (Revolt/Stoat fucking sucks)
  • Edit: WhatsApp to Signal/Delta Chat

Signal I guess? Sorta? But absolutely not really?

FYI Fluxer isn't federated. What you're looking for is Matrix/XMPP.

Yeah, I am using Matrix with the Sable client and it is really good
