This is an irony experienced by people, but still use social media, often complaining “where are my friends’ posts?”, “where is the homepage that used to be calm and peaceful, why is it now almost filled with influencers?”, we are living in a different time, it’s no longer 2018/2019 where the contents were still filled with your friends’ posts.
Why not try mastodon or misskey?
I always advise all my friends to stop complaining, including about their accounts that were suddenly suspended. Honestly, I also learned about Mastodon in 2018, namely pawoo.net, owned by Pixiv. I didn’t realize it was “Mastodon” for years until 2021.
But there are those who say “yeah, social media is quiet”, precisely because your quiet homepage is neat and pleasant to look at rather than looking at unclear ads, right?
