Why is Soycial media bad?
In these tyring times where using soycial-media is practically mandatory, privacy fronteds stand as another win for the freesoftware world so today I'm gonna convince you to finally dich your soycial-media accounts and move to using privacy fronteds.
Long live Frontends!
Modern social media is bloated beyond salvation and uses copious amounts of RAM that it makes my old thinkpad-like laptops ignite the table that's why you should use private fronteds not only because of the obvious privacy benefits (if you enable proxy of course) but also because they are made by actually compitant developers so they don't fuck over any non-chromium browser.
YouTube
For example if I even open YouTube on my 10 year old Desktop Computer, the sheer amount of garbage on this website will get it to crash.
but if I use my beloved invidious I can manage to play anything I want and the website is a few style tags away from being a plain html page which is better and better.
For other like reddit there are teddit for an old reddit-like UI and libreddit for new reddit which are miles ahead of whatever pajeet infested, kike fucked and chinese spyware sauced spaghetty code the reddit developers could string together.
for instagram there's Bibliogram but these days it's getting targeted by instagram (Probably for the Better)
TikTok
also there's proxitok a frontend to watch the abhorent and unfunny landscape videos your """friend""" sent you.
Twitter (or X)
for twitter there's Nitter and it's by far the most known and used
UPDATE
I was Rereading this Blog Entry and My Opinion Has Changed in the Past Month and just Wanted to Clearify Some Things
I Don't Think These Websites are a Good Solution to Internet Addiction Obviously
Also Some Platforms Like Tweeter are So Toxic I Would Advise to not Even Look at Comments There, They are Just Degenerate Mellenials Trying to Look Cool to Each Other
It's Sad that the Internet is Paralleling Real Life Social Circles this Much, I Think of The amount of nice and well spoken People I talk to Outside of Big-Tech Internet (in what is Left of the WorldWildWest Internet and in Real Life) you can tell if Someone Has Been Destroyed By These Platforms or Not and The Sad thing is these mannerisms are spreading now you can see social circles that talk like they're chatting on a discord """server""" or a Twitch Live Chat and they spread their Destructive Mannerisms arround
So Please, Act Normal In Real Life Even if You're Not as Life Has It's Standards and The Big-Tech Web Has It's Own
and Use These Frontends Only if You Need To
