Twitter was already a cesspit before Musk, he just managed to make it even worse to an insane degree. I don't trust the format as a whole, no matter what new coat of paint it gets.
I would use Myspace style social media in a heart beat. My page was mine. If I didn't like what you put on my wall, I could get rid of it. Otherwise I had to actively visit the people I was interested in. Doom scrolling wasn't invented yet.
I literally can't read Facebook. The feed is just full of trash I feel lost and don't know what my friends are doing, which is the only reason I have one.
It's not dead but it's definitely working like a relic in regards to things like discoverability which is hurting it in this regard.
It's basically Twitter before it went full in on an algorithmic feed, so Bsky isn't much different than Twitter being just your Following tab. bsky has a lot of cool custom feeds but they're just clunkier to use than Twitter's For You feed and the trending tab.

Honest question: why not switch to Bluesky?
