Social networks put engagement before everything else and alienate their products. I moved away from Facebook to Instagram when it stopped being about my friends, and did the same when Instagram tried too hard to be TikTok.

And I like these services independently. I watch short content, I like following what my friends do and I follow(ed) strangers on Twitter. But the moment everything is crammed into one app the experience becomes dull.

I wish they'd spin up new apps instead of adding more and more layers to the existing ones.
