      Meanwhile, the masses are still using all the ‘services’ because they all have momentum. I’m not confident any of them can do anything bad enough to chase off their users.

        I thought Facebook would die with all the scandals, I’m the only person in my life who cared. I deleted Twitter before it became X, I’m the only one I know who did that.

        I don’t think anyone gives a shit and it’s made me hate people a lot more than I used to.

          Most people I know left Facebook and Twitter years ago. Maybe it’s just a difference in people we associate with?

        Yeah, they’re not leaving. The only way they would leave is if the service were to be physically shut down. Pretty sure you could make everyone watch 1 minute long ads on app open and they would still stay.

    I spent a chunk of this afternoon nuking my old reddit posts. Thousands and thousands of posts… thank goodness for shreddit.

      I didn’t know about this. I just went into it.

      edit: lol you have to pay for Shreddit. Nevermind, I don’t care about deleting my posts that much.

        No, not the website: the git project.

        If you want a web app, try redact.dev (yes, there’s a paid version where you can download your old messages, but the free one wipes out your posts (with random text) for free.
