To me, social media today is like Cars vs. Bikes.
Cars (& big social media) are convenient, comfortable, dehumanising, dangerous (individually and on a global scale), and "normal."
Bikes (& fedi) ask you to give up some of the comforts for a more human, more sustainable experience. There are different norms and affordances and some compromises. Hopefully we unlearn bad habits and redesign our environments along the way.
It shouldn't be *painful* but it does ask you to change your perspective.
