I quit Facebook, Instagram and other social sites They became boring

Fwiw, the platforms are aware of this shift (people shifting to preferring private content), and its behind a lot of changes like Instagram’s. But social media as we knew it (big public info dumps) were likely in an “attention bubble” over the past 15 years because of their sheer novelty.

I'm not the only one. I didn't quit because I hated them or because it invaded my privacy (after all I was using it and gave away my data because I wanted to)

I quit because they are boring, content and people are boring. I'm 30 now and before I had a group of friends with similar interests: programming and technology. I was meeting new people with also similar interests so they were posting what was interesting to me and vice versa.

It was fun to be on Hacker News and such. But now when I lost touch with 99% of people it got boring. Some of them post about their new JS tool, some of their job and so on. I don't care, I can't relate to that. I don't even talk to 99% of the people, so it turned into stalking each other.

Also following funders is not interesting to me, they live in totally different dimension. I feel like my "online social life" is dead.
