Pretty much the title. If you are, why do you remain on a platform that has become such a dumpster-fire of mis- and dis-information?

Musk is a pedo. Or at least a pedo enabler.
There are more than cultural differences. WeChat is a surveillance app for the masses by the State. This is not an exaggeration.
North Korean state actors linked to the RGB have been identified in the JumpCloud hack! An OPSEC mistake exposed their IP address.
Top AI companies including OpenAI, Alphabet and Meta Platforms have made voluntary commitments to the White House to implement measures such as watermarking AI-generated content to help make the technology safer, the Biden administration said on Friday.
I have used many Linux distros, Old-school RedHat (floppy days) Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, etc. I used to like messing around with the kernel and configs, etc. Now I just want something that works so that I can get to work. I installed Pop_OS on an old Microsoft Surface about 3 weeks ago and I have been very impressed. It was simple to install, has a pleasing interface design, and no bloat software. I'm going to keep using it for my desktop and highly recommend it.
I'm on discord but not for the sociability so much. However, there are some hyper specific subjects that get served up there. Personally, I find it very chaotic.
I don't think he called bullshit as much as he thought it has potential but not ready yet. Lol! I love the fediverse. Let everyone else find the next best thing that will, once again, get ruined.

That is some really great insight to have for a job seeker!
Funny how return-to-office only applies to some.
Nice! One of my first jobs in HS was working for a small, family-run machine shop. I got all the messy clean up jobs but liked the work overall.
I wish I had had that option when my kids were little. Hope you find something you enjoy.

This, and silos, are my two most hated office words. Hope you find something you like!
I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but it pretty much says it all in the title. I've read a few guides but they don't seem to answer my questions about posting. I quit Facebook and Twitter over 10 years ago and this is my first social media account since then.
