Good points and personally relate to some of these benefits.
I try to keep my social media minimal. No Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, etc...
At times has been difficult to use social media in moderation. Feels like I am competing with an Olympic champion in their own sport.
With that said, here some things that I found helpful:
- Never social media apps on my phone (no email either).
- Only access social media via laptop/desktop.
- Use services like Mailbrew to follow Youtube channels I want to follow (very few).
- Never save my session, always enter the credentials every time I want to check social media.
I do however follow Twitter & HN. More like a passive user.
- ahmaman 5y agoFor those of you who have successfully minimized social media in their life. Where does you go for real conversations on the internet? I sometimes use Twitter for that but feels like the ratio of noise vs. signal is too high!
- jancsika 5y agoWith that said, here some things that I found helpful: - Never do cocaine straight out of my pocket. - Only do cocaine in a restroom using the bag inside my valise, or on the mirrored table in my living room. - only buy cocaine from a dealer who I trust, or dealers who that dealer trusts. - when sharing cocaine with others in the restroom, don't tell them personal information about myself.
- pknomad 5y agoI think COVID lockdown made keeping social media usage to a minimum really difficult. I noticed that I started to watch chatting streams on Twitch as a crutch for not being able to socialize outside. Socializing over a video call with your friends are also difficult because you're not left with much topics to talk about.
