Exactly, it's just a scare tactic to make us and 'the enemies' believe that there's no way out and we already lost. The solution is in front of us, all that time. I follow a lot of blogs I scrambled together over the years from this place called HN, I do that with RSS. It's enough for me to get a good and healthy information diet (all your blogposts together are way more interesting than any social media platform can offer me). The only thing I miss are feeds with images, to have an image pop-up in my RSS-based timeline is always nice. And some kind of replacement for Youtube would also be nice to have.
