I took a break from social media for a year; it was excellent. Briefly after my return, I found out an extended family member passed away. Nobody would have told me otherwise. People will assume you're on there and in-the-loop even if you aren't. It's hard to navigate any social environment where that's an implicit given of others.
- impjohn 4y agoI have a similar story, but for me it is 4 years and still going. I am generally calmer and my emotional amplitude is less pronounced during the day than when I was on SM, but getting involved socially means you really have to be proactive, otherwise you sort of disappear
- lvass 4y agoI only used traditional social media for a brief moment around 16 years ago. What works nicely for me is I have noted down the birthdays of everyone I care about with org-mode. I always try to contact them, and also send messages on christmas.
