Honestly, as far as point #4 of this post goes, I'm glad that some of these established social media brands seem to be starting to expire. Very little of value will be lost when they do vanish. That said, I also can't really bring myself to care all that much about any new ones that may show up to replace them, either. Right now, I have (the nigh worthless recreation of) my Twitter account, which I hardly even look at anymore, let alone actually use, and I have this Dreamwidth page, and... that's it. I don't really feel the need for more, and unless Dreamwidth suddenly goes away for some reason, I haven't seen any compelling incentives to change that lack of feeling.
As for the all-consuming, ever-burning trashfire that Elon Musk has sparked at Twitter (or, rather, made much larger, given that Twitter was already kind of a raging trashfire even before he bought it), I'm not too awfully interested in that, even out of morbid curiosity. (Every single time Elon Musk and/or Twitter comes up in the Google News app on my phone, for instance, I tell it to show me "fewer stories" like that, not that that helps at all, since I still get stories about Elon Musk almost on a daily basis, despite that. I might still watch Some More News or Last Week Tonight episodes on the topic, or, you know, read John Scalzi posts about it, but that's about it.)
