Flavored water does feel like cheating. It’s really just water.

You need to do damage control. Being short in all caps to a friend trying to speak with you is rude. The only real move is to apologize.

I killed Instagram and Whatsapp recently when Mark started buddying up to Trump.

Deleted Twitter shortly after Elon took over, which bummed me out since it was a good place for software development information.

Quit reddit after the API ordeal when I didn’t want to use the official client.

I was a long time user of each platform, and I was bummed when I had to leave each.

Now I have bluesky, lemmy, mastodon, and some occasional discord servers I hangout on. I miss Instagram as a time waster, but I’ll survive without funny dog videos and fitness models.

I agree, people need to be able to focus on something else for a few hours on a Sunday.
