Nobody in my life gives a fuck.
Even my mom just shrugged and moved on to the next thing. The rest either didn't use it in the first place, or have been swayed to the dark side by me making fun of corporate social media. Or, you know, because they got tired of the bullshit.

Mild annoyance. People are also annoyed at the asskissing of Trump in the shutdown message, given that he wanted it shut down last time he was president. IMO people will just move on to whatever else.
I don't really understand why the Supreme Court ruled that this is legal in the first place.

Because they don't answer "political questions", they check for contradictions against the constitution, and they don't (in their opinion) think there's any conflicts with the constitution.
Congress could pass a law banning Pizza, and it would be constitutional, however stupid it is.

Yeah, IMO it's a constitutional question. I'm coming at it from the EFF's side:
We are deeply disappointed that the Court failed to require the strict First Amendment scrutiny required in a case like this, which wouldâve led to the inescapable conclusion that the government's desire to prevent potential future harm had to be rejected as infringing millions of Americansâ constitutionally protected free speech.

Corporate social media is trash

Honestly, Iâm not affected by this blatant attempt to silence people and cut off a means of disseminating newsâŠIt sucks, but I know that people will find an alternative platform to use. It wonât be a Meta platform like all the politicians who invested in Meta stocks, would hope it to be. đ€Ł

Angry very angry. Frustrated and depressed.
So pretty normal around here. Just more of it now.
Lot of people lost there jobs and income because of it.

I'm surprised no one around me has mentioned it, since everyone I know is obsessed with it. They're just playing YouTube shorts with the volume up in the break room instead đ€Š
