(translated from Catalan by Alain Gertrand)
You too will leave X, Instagram and all the other big platforms that, for now, seem like irreplaceable components of our lives. The golden age of these social networks is behind us. And yes, that means for you, too.

you’d think so, like i did; but i’m learning that it’s easy to get caught up in the moment when it comes to social media.
i’ve been learning the lessons of social media enshittification since the day’s of icq & bbs, some like the author described; but there’s always some new thing/feature/enticement to draw you in further and you end up learning that lesson the hard way all over again, but from a different angle/perspective/approach.
