What has been the hardest thing to let go of when deciding to distance yourself from or drop social media entirely?
For me it's input. I have a continually thinking mind that feels that I must have something to say on anything. Whenever I've gotten rid of a Reddit account or took even a day or two off from activity on the internet. I had an itch to say something whenever something is reported or something I've seen while browsing that peaked my interest.
And I feel I have to say something on it, even if small. But yet I try to restrain myself from doing so because of how manufactured social media has become today.
It's gotten a little better, mainly because you know, after registering so many accounts for so long and having to upkeep so many. It is tiring to do for me so I think I'm finally slowing down from that to where this issue won't nearly be as big as it once was.
What do you mean by paywalls? I got off reddit when the whole paying for API by third party apps thing happened and don't know what's going on after that point
