Any social media that you isn’t open and self hostable (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc) should not be used. That includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and more.
Most social media has, IMHO, been a net-negative for society and I am in the generation that grew up with it in its infancy.
I second this opinion. The federated applications and communities aren’t perfect, but it’s less toxic and better to use in general due to the lack of an all-encompassing algorithm that guides your usage to increase views for ad revenue.

My one wish for Fediverse would be federated identities. So I don’t have to have baronvonj@<platform> for ever single one of them.
On the plus side, it’s nice that you don’t need a new ID for every Lemmy instance.
You’re describing what Tim Berners-Lee is tryna build with Solid.
I see a GitHub and Xitter linked on there. Any clue if they have a Mastodon or something similar that I could follow?
Not as far as I know. There’s this Mastodon, but doesn’t look legit: https://mastodon.online/@Solid
