Quitting social media is actually really interesting. My experience without facebook (I never had Twitter) for two years has been almost all positive. All you said is also reasonable but it’s a bit like saying that drug addicts should use drugs for fun. Some people need to quit, and they’ll be better that way. That doesn’t mean those who can manage should too; I envy you very much and wish all the best.
- velcrovan 5y agoI quit Facebook too. But I was also able to rebalance my Twitter experience to contain more signal and less noise. Github is a great form of social media. And here we both are posting comments on Hacker News. Despite us both being very happy to leave Facebook, we’re also probably both familiar with the frisson of exchanging ideas online and are unwilling to give it up. Giving that up completely is really not as interesting as learning to manage it well.
