This is especially important. Twitter has desensitized its users to the point where thousands of people bullying someone into committing suicide doesn't upset anybody. All that recently happened, and it was a wake-up call for me; looking around, nobody actually cared that someone had died, they had all moved on to whatever short-lived meme had taken over.
Leaving Twitter and going to HN, google News, and RSS has definitely been challenging (albeit pretty interesting). It's a lot harder to actually get myself to read articles instead of just headlines, and I've been realizing how short my attention span is because of Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. I wish more people would leave and start using actual news sources again instead of just reading headlines.
