Why do I care the open web is dying?

As someone who once used facebook, maybe a decade ago, but currently does not, I can confidently say I've seen little to no social expense to not using it. My real friends and family keep me abreast of the important things that are happening offline, and I get to skip the rest that happens on Facebook, which is essentially noise, baby pictures, and toxic politics.

I think it's almost entirely FOMO that is keeping people on these horrible "social" platforms. Best decision of my life was to leave.

You say FOMO as if it's a trivial thing, and not a deeply influential aspect of the human psyche.

And that's Zuckerberg's fault too, that people have it? Demonizing much?

It seems like you're attacking a point you made for the person you're replying to instead of anything in their actual comment here.
