I don't think any of us should be on the main social media platforms anymore. They're wretched hives of scum and villainy. At this point, I think even the idea that "We'll miss out if we're not on those platforms" is a trap.

Strong disagree with this, at least in general.  I'm on Twitter, principally for AI-related stuff, and if you curate (don't follow shitheads, block/mute) then it's unparalleled.  Maybe that's only possible for a 90% technical topic, and wouldn't work w/ btc or political things.  But my heart swells in gratitude for what's been made available on that topic.
