He fell in love with the fantastick shade;
And o'er the fair resemblance hung unmov'd,
Nor knew, fond youth! it was himself he lov'd."

Generally I've used Twitter, Instagram and Facebook on my PC, with Firefox Ad-blocker to cut out commercial propaganda. I'm now switching to ad-free, non-corporate, open source #Fediverse, starting with #Mastodon. Experience so far very good. Great community!
