2017 was the year I left Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, etc. Nuked my old reddit account and came back to a fresh start with only a few niche subreddits and of course HN. I don't even frequent 4chan as much because it's losing its ground as a first-party source of internet subculture and information dissemination
I've significantly cut out the time spent engaging in communities that don't give me anything in return, and while it makes it very hard to date other people in my generation and at times fills me with a lonely sense of disconnection from society, I feel so much healthier.

It's also started to seep out into the other boards, which is something of a problem to be solved.
