Any social media that you isn’t open and self hostable (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc) should not be used. That includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and more.
Most social media has, IMHO, been a net-negative for society and I am in the generation that grew up with it in its infancy.
I second this opinion. The federated applications and communities aren’t perfect, but it’s less toxic and better to use in general due to the lack of an all-encompassing algorithm that guides your usage to increase views for ad revenue.

My one wish for Fediverse would be federated identities. So I don’t have to have baronvonj@<platform> for ever single one of them.
@baronvonj
What do you mean? I’m posting from a #Friendica account to #mastodon, #lemmy and #pixelfed - One account. no worries

On the plus side, it’s nice that you don’t need a new ID for every Lemmy instance.

Lol good luck getting the masses on board
I don’t want the masses. They can stay in the containment shart shead.
I could care less about “the masses”. Most of the world are morons.
