I bet the AI was tuned to select ads that maximize both profit and engagement for Meta over maximizing either profit or engagement for the advertiser. Totally working "as intended".

Hahah but really AI is already being used to amplify and exploit all the problems of social media to new levels. It was nice while it lasted, but we can't stuff this all back in Pandora's box.
Probably all those throwaway accounts that people create to post comments that they don't want attached to themselves in any way. I doubt many people took enough precautions to prevent Reddit from identifying them as alternate accounts though.
I've started using Obsidian with a kanban plugin, though any sufficient kanban style solution would work. I have a to-do column (aka backlog), an in-progress column, and a finished column. I add notes to the cards about what I did and I never delete stuff from the finished column so I can review if I need to re-open or re-do a task in the future.
Everyone: Don't say anything sensitive or personal to an AI because it could end up in training data!
Microsoft: We're making it easier to feed everything you do on your computer to an AI from notepad to your desktop!

I just made the switch and Steam with Proton has been really smooth, they've made a lot of progress to make it easy since the Steam Deck has come out. I don't play any online competitive games that use anti-cheat though.

I know someone who works in emergency services who said that people in those professions are actually afraid of seeking any type of mental health support because if their employers were to find out, they could be put on administrative duties, unpaid leave, or outright fired for being mentally unfit. The problem is systemic.
Those examples are all forms of linking back to the content which is still hosted by the original server in which it was posted. Effectively they are sharing links to the content over the content itself, because if the hosting server removes the content then it is no longer available through those other mediums. And yes there are caching mechanisms involved, but those fall to the personal use case because the cache is not made publicly available.
For these bridge services to work, they are creating and hosting duplicates of the content. That is the biggest difference. If BlueSky actually federated then they would not be rehosting the content either.
How is reposting content to another social media platform with over a million users "personal consumption"?
Okay, well try this one:
Take any media publicly uploaded by a major artist on X and repost it to YouTube unaltered. You should be able to defend any copyright strikes because of your "publicly available" argument, right?
Allowing public broadcast once doesn't void the rights of the creator to control when and where that content gets broadcast again.
The big record labels are shareholders in Spotify so they're happy to get less money in streaming royalties because that's the part they have to share with artists, but the value of their shares they get to keep all for themselves.
