Sorry you got downvoted. It’s not an unpopular sentiment, it’s just a very tired one at this point. If everyone who made that argument instead just left, the problem wouldn’t exist.
And yeah, the people you follow are there because it’s where their audience is. If you want them to move, you gotta be the change you wanna see.
I mean, you’re here, so I have to assume I’m preaching to the choir to some extent.
From my bubble, Meta and Zuckerberg are widely despised by the general public and have been for the better part of the last couple decades. I’ve never met a person who wants to be on their platform, only people who have to be. But you’re probably right, most of the users probably don’t even know who Zuckerberg is, or that Facebook ever renamed themselves.
But are the personalities you want to follow on there really pulling an audience that…simple?
So we’re not talking about “influencers”, we’re literally talking about people you are friends with? Hah! Fuck right off! Yes, if enough of your friend group leaves the rest will also leave, that’s the cut-and-dry scenario I laid out to begin with 🤣.
We’re going in circles now. Everyone you listed uses the service because everyone else uses the service. If you want to stop using it, stop using it, if you don’t, don’t say you do. Cheers.
I understand your situation very well, because I was in the same spot when I deleted my Facebook 10 years ago. Turns out, it’s possible to do both things. The ability to keep in touch with people was not invented when social media was. It really does just come down to whether you want to be on the platform or not.

You’d actually be surprised. I’ve seen a lot of tiktok creators cross posting to loops as well as rednote.
They know it’s there. Just feeling it out.
That is simply not even true, because that would be like 0.01% of all Instagram users. It wouldn’t make a dent.

well thanks for calling my friends dumb I guess

both my friends but also musicians, celebs, (comic) artists, video creators, activists, politicians,…
isn’t this what regular people use social media for?

i want to stop using Instagram but I want to keep in touch with these people, it’s not hard to understand
