Glad you left, I was out ages ago. Mastodon is a good alternative, too. Lots of different entities and servers, but you can connect to any space. Decentralized so no one sociopath can own it.

I've never done any social media other than substack and have no "smart phone." It is all the new "soma" for distracting the masses.

Good on you! I use it very infrequently now. Just to share posts which get very low impressions. Can’t quite leave for good as I reflect on how useful it was for academics. I’m on Bluesky too but it’s slow to get going.
