Just don't use Social Media? Idk why people keep using this dogshit as if they expect it to change. JUST STOP FUCKING USING IT. You'll be thanking me later for the boost in mental health.

Really not a reasonable take. Social media is great for discovering new things, people, and groups of interest. Sure, you can do that outside of social media too, but in a much slower and more limited way.
Also, lots of housebound disabled people use social media for their main source of socializing.
My wife got off last year. I just use it for some communities I’m involved with and like 10 friends that seem to appreciate my posts.

Good riddance. Sadly I think it will take another generation before the boomers wake up
Good thing most of them will be dead by then.

Even if so, they may see that as a plus. Twitter survived the massive cutting / culture change that Elon brought to it (as a gross little shadow of it's formal self, but the vultures don't care).
