Left Twitter the day Musk bought it because it was clear that it would go downhill. Left Facebook when some of my students wanted to “friend” me (I was a college professor) and I couldn’t see how to manage my content for that audience in addition to family & friends. Just left Instagram for the reasons you describe… the ads and now, the capitulation to misinformation. But, I’ll miss the cartoonists I found there. I’m trying to find them on Bluesky and Substack now.

The daily cartoonist has a good list going of cartoonists migrating to Bluesky. https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2024/11/19/directory-of-cartoonists-on-blue-sky/
I was on the other side of that door and there is indeed nothing going on there.. 😊
