Here's some ideas: - Delete the social media apps from your phone, set a strong password/2FA and make yourself login via web to check. - If its a social media account used for purely browsing/posting (i.e. not used to keep in touch with family) delete it. It really changes the browsing when you can't comment and don't have a "score" to look at. [PS] - Stop following people you don't personally know, except maybe tech related stuff since following those can be helpful (zero day vulnerability stuff, cool features, etc.) If you limit yourself to people you know, as in you actively keep in touch with, then feeds become less cluttered. Its less engaging but thats the point. - Are you doom-scrolling? [0] Looking at "news" on places like reddit can do that. Having an account to have a curated list of sub-reddits sounds like a good idea, right? No. It encourages you to post comments which pulls you in. Limit to top 50 in r/all, any "news" that shows there might be actual news vs. scary headlines. Limit via time. - Get an app that tracks time spent online or specific sites. Limit yourself, make it a game to lower your time. - You'd be better off binge watching some shows/movies you like.

I'd rather they changed it to that to encourage discussion and not encourage point gathering, but I don't work here so meh.
