Anyone else burned out on social media???

Yeah, Reddit is a tough one because you CAN find very productive discussions there, educational content, actual world news, experts being experts, different experiences, helpful people, cool hobby stuff, etc. On the other hand, you can find endless echo chambers, downvoting/banning of the most SLIGHT differences of opinion, outright stereotyping entire groups of people and neverending strawmanning, groupthink, etc. It's always helpful to keep in mind that 1% (if not fewer) of the entire US population is on it, so you don't need to fear our whole population is ACTUALLY like that. Because they're aren't-that may be where your experiences come in, since Reddit tends to skew upper class and white (though that may be because the site is English dominated). And don't forget trolls, tankies, basement dwellers, etc. mucking up the works.

I don't like Quora much either-you can get the occasional valuable answer, but I hate the format. I find it awkward and now you have to like subscribe to it to use it? UGH.

And I feel you-I'm trying to go back to like 2008 when I just had the right amount of computer time for a few hours a day. Instagram/Threads (I put both together) is 1 of only 3 social media apps (one of those I also use for work) I currently even have on my phone-I deleted everything else. I actually feel a decent amount of withdrawal when I'm away from my phone, and I find it hard to pay attention and enjoy "quiet moments" like I used to and I don't like that.

I personally wasn't crazy about the remodeled look the site got a few years back and unfortunately the "old Facebook" chrome extension no longer seems to work.

I didn't even know Facebook groups had been around for that long, I thought they were a fairly recent addition in the last several years, I initially joined an Insane Clown Posse group because I was looking for a really rare ICP comic and then I found a few other groups over the years.

Since I don't have any clue what groups was like in the past I have no way of missing what it was like before, I do miss Yahoo Groups though, there were some pretty great ones for  fanfiction that I miss quite a bit.

Basically you could make groups for just about anything on there, I was on a group that specialized in fanfiction about TV shows, movies and celebrities and another one for lesbian fanfiction. Unfortunately a few years ago Yahoo shuttered it.
