This post like many recent ones like it, essentially wants the internet to go backwards to what it once was pre-LLMs [edit: and pre-concentration]. I'd like to suggest that you should follow through and go all the way to pre-internet itself, and rediscover handwriting, in-person local meeting groups, non-digital relationships, and using your hands not on a keyboard. Today I (with difficulty) left my macbook closed all day until this evening (and this comment). Small steps.

I read this as an ownership issue, where Meta owns your content as long as you post on Facebook or Instagram, and has nothing to do with LLMs.

LLMs had no impact on how content is organized as far as I can tell.

Some people are just using it to post more garbage into the platforms they already were using

+1 for writing letters. I do it with two people (one lives in the same city!)

But it's not an either/or proposition.

Also, keep in mind that POSSE and this site predate LLMs by quite a bit.

I understand this attitude but when I look back at my rural youth I just hear you telling me that I should have had no one to talk to at all about many things.

Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater
