TBH I'm right there with you when it comes to wishing corporate social media a fiery demise.
And yet, I'm happily using decentralized/non-profit social media that I'd very much like to see flourish. The thing I don't like about social media today is that it's billionaires selling personal info to people that want to direct advertising or propaganda to intellectually defenseless people, I really think democracy can't withstand the firehose of bullshit that now empowers bad actors to lie at scale that used to require traditional media or state resources.
