Yes. To me, social media should no longer be controlled by single men, VC's, or investing interests. It's become too influential. The recent censorship of political dissidents abroad during elections at the request of dictators was actually my final straw, I've just been too casual about it to leave. I was outspoken about FaceBook's shenanigans previously, and would be a hypocrite to stay, now that another option clearly exists—Nostr. When Twitter rolls out the payments infrastructure, it'll be worse than Worldcoin in my opinion, because I'd argue WeChat is worse than Worldcoin, which is Twitter's ambition. Fuck that. The US has exceedingly strong laws protecting businesses (in relative terms to the rest of the developed world), which is good, so it's really on us to figure our out of this panopticon, instead of allowing social media to encroach even further, now into our intimate financial lives.
I am also recommending alternatives to Reddit as Lemmy. Since the hunt of third party apps the exodus and development of new clients went really fast. You have Apollo like PWA client as Voyager and mlmym for old.reddit theme.
