I deleted my Facebook in 2015 simply because I kept getting in arguments with people, and spending a not-insignificant amount of time every day fighting with people I barely knew. I figured that that was probably not healthy so I deleted it. I missed it for about a day, and then I pretty actively didn't want to ever use it again.
I'm a little burnt out entirely on social media; the closest thing to a social media that I still use is HN, and I do argue on here a bit but not nearly as much.
- mattrighetti 2y ago> I do argue on here a bit but not nearly as much The nice thing about HN is that if you know how to behave and if you care to listen, you're most likely just having a conversation, it's not even arguing. It's nice to know that meaningful conversations can still happen somewhere on the internet nowadays.
- tombert 2y agoThat's the thing, I feel like the moderation of HN is really good. The admins do a pretty good job stopping things before they get too crazy, and as a result it's just a lot more interesting to talk to people. I still argue with people here occasionally but I generally actually feel like the person arguing is actually willing to change their mind, not score points for some pithy remark on Twitter.
