Spending all that time on social also comes at a cost.
Personally, one I'm not comfortable paying.
What are you missing out on by focusing everything through the lens of the Twitterverse?
Better yet, what is it doing to your psychology?
- jbb_hn 5y agoAgreed. It took me a couple of years to reach that same conclusion. When I did, I deleted Twitter and LinkedIn - the only two platforms I used. When I realized my mental health was suffering from the “infinite scroll” and the toxicity of people saying things on Twitter that they’d never say face to face,I knew it was time. That was almost 4 years ago. As the meme goes “No ragrets”.
- F_J_H 5y agoI feel there are people who have found healthy balance between not using Twitter at all and "focus everything through the lens of the twitterverse".
- lugged 5y agoSo you only look at some topics through the hyper polarized lens of Twitter and Facebook? Literally all of the conversations that get traction on those sites are the extreme and polarized views. The fact you may have normalised those views to the point you think of them as healthy scares me a lot. Both moderation and moderate views dont work on twitter. They're invisible. Also, while maybe you can find a balance, that doesn't mean everyone can, your participation enables the unhealthy participants as well.
