Trivia: I just learned two weeks ago that "firm"ware is in between "hard"ware and "soft"ware. It has nothing to do with a firm (a company).

On Android you can use Firefox with uBlock origin (ad blocker) extension

Yeah, FB was killed by the younger people abandoning it for other SM. Twitter was killed by Musk. Reddit was killed by Spez.

And by “killed”, I mean “lost some users and content quality”. They still have millions of active users.

And my personal feed on Reddit is pretty much unchanged. Very few niche subreddits went into an extended blackout, so I still got all my content. And since I use the mobile website (FF+uBlock), the API change didn’t affect me that much. But I hope more communities from Reddit will move over here, especially the non-tech ones.

With my peers it’s mostly just “phone” nowadays. Likely because landline phones are really rare now.
