I left reddit over API stuff, obviously.
Twitter had a few weeks where the algorithm was so broken people were getting recommended gore videos. Just a description of the most common one set off my OCD trying to avoid it. It was always kind of a shit website and not worth having an episode over, so I just deleted my account.
Tumblr's nsfw ban also nuked a bunch of communities that aren't inherently nsfw, but have large factions that are. Think like the furry fandom. I just woke up one day and my tags didn't work and my favorite creators were gone. PLUS the wording included the phrase "female-presenting nipples", which just sounds wildly transphobic and has no definition so they can ban whoever they want. And they doubled down on it a week later. Immediately uninstalled, heard they've only gotten more overtly transphobic since.
I don't even remember when I stopped using Facebook. I don't like being stalked by every heterosexual mom I went to church with as a teenager, so I never used it long.
