SaaraMy first week in Pixelfed has been a positive experience. 🌞 I still use Instagram (instagram.com/antiteesi) a little bit for social reasons but I won't be posting much there since IG sucks for artists anyways.<br>

Frank Rebers<p>It is happening I am <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/leavingfacebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leavingfacebook</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/leavinginstagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leavinginstagram</span></a> . I decided that the changes at Meta recently don’t fit with me. It was not an easy decision to leave as I have many friends and family if follow on those platforms but since I was not very active on them anyway myself i thought to no longer have Meta benefit from me being a user. So today i purged all posts, likes, pictures and responses. In a few days i will delete my account and make Mastodon my new social media homebase.</p>
