... just as I blocked twitter before it.

This kind of social media is mostly unactionable noise and I don't need any of these social media corporations adding me to the lists they sell just because I clicked on some DU post that includes them.

Appeals to authority, especially self-proclaimed social media authority, isn't any kind of solution to the bandwagon fallacy.

Most of the internet is being used to sell stuff and 95% of that stuff is crap.

Theodore Sturgeon was talking about genres of fiction, but it's easily extensible to commerce, politics, and religion too.

So far as I know from their website alt.national.parks is a place that sells stickers and t-shirts. I don't know what Hypoautonomic, BS is promoting.
