I already shunned it. For about 4 years now. I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.

They're bored, and the algorithm is the hook.

They just need something else to do

I'm the same. I only follow one subreddit, and I barely post and interact here. I've completely removed any and all news sources too. There's nothing i can do about any of the stories the news throws up. More people would get healthier is they got offline.

Already there since more than a few years

I basically did back in like 2014. My accounts still existed, so I finally closed out the big 3 in October. I hadn't used them in years, but they were still there

X for doubt. Remember, users had no reason to sign up for a Facebook or Instagram account in the first place. Users just willingly gave information away to these evil corporations at will. I could very well see the future of the Fediverse growing. The past few months of using Lemmy and scrolling Mastadon has been amazing.
