Kind of.
But I also use Fastmail. And Fastmail is shockingly, mindboggling good.
And I basically have the tools I need to work from home in perpetuity. While I have lots of things to critique about Slack or Google Docs, I don't have to spend an hour or more a day in traffic anymore, so that's cool. Also Video chat actually works now, which is crazy if you think about it.
I just bought an album from an obscure artist off Bandcamp. It was seamless. And it comes in FLAC if that's your jam.
Speaking of which I've been meaning to run to a neighborhood bakery today and it took 3 seconds to confirm they're still open.

Social media has run its course and it's awful. But social media is not and never has been the web, despite their power grabs.
