Similar, but I’ve only ever heard the term stir-fry used in combination with a wok over EXTREME heat.

They are just angry that they did not think of selling 5-Star reviews to those restaurants themselves.

I’m aware of that, that’s why I would like to get rid if it. And “technically” it’s not Facebook but another “Meta”-product 😉

I still use WhatsApp, because I have friends that won’t switch to Signal.

Other than that: I quit Facebook years ago, was never really interested in Twitter and recently stopped using reddit and switched to lemmy.

Edit: Oh, and YouTube… I totally forgot about YouTube.

Hollywood writers still on strike?

I agree that people should stop using twitter and if nobody used it, it would stop being relevant. But it still is relevant at this point. We’ve put a big piece of our “interaction infrastructure” in the hands of a small number of maniacs. If those maniacs misbehave, they need to be punished.

Just nationalize twitter and be done with it.

Oil companies are not the problem, people who still drive their car to work are!

Are you sure about that?

That would indeed have been a power move. But let’s be real: I’m as addicted to this stuff as the next one. It helps to know how it works to keep it in check.

*sigh* you got me…

Oh no, you’re a human being reacting positively to positive reinforcements.

Mate, this is how social media is supposed to work. You’re being gamed at a deeply instinctual level. The only way to win is not to play. On that note: I should log off. Bye.

Sorry to be that guy: Install Linux?

But seriously: l’d like to know as well.

Yep. Those companies make it easy to join so they capture big user bases and become the defacto standard. I had a bad feeling about discord from the beginning. Glad I managed to stay away. But I’m old and not really interested in most “communities” online, so it’s an easy decision for me. With instant messengers on the other hand…

Discord is such an obvious “stay the fuck away from” product.
