I agree with the “Use FOSS” part, but I can’t help but notice a double standard thats often taken when these kinds of stories pop up.

I think the Federal Reserve raising interest rates has more to do with it. Now that the VC’s that fund everything are getting the money faucet turned off, it’s having downstream effects on all these tech companies.
There’s usually a blocklist or two for whatever social media site you’re using that can help prune them out. I also try and make sure that the spaces I frequent, both online and offline, are explicitly pro-trans since it makes most bigots uncomfortable.
