Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
Support the hosts with our own funds.
Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let's own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

Since you mentioned Twitter and GPT, I'm also not very much of a Twitter guy, but I open it sometimes just because.

Jesus Christ, EVERY POST is filled with lots of people just quoting the GPT bots to "answer" for them some ironic shit. People can't even be bothered to even interact with a post of their interest anymore.
