    There's a paradox almost worth discussing somewhere, but not here.

Anyone here tired of social media? I’m almost 40. Just curious of my age group.

  More angry than tired. To clarify: angry at Social Media rather than on it. FB was great in about 2010, but is now ridiculous and basically unusable. My wife is addicted to IG, and spends multiple hours each day scrolling the feed. My social life revolves around WA groups. I tried moving people to Signal but got few takers. I'm enjoying Mastodon at the moment. I'm scared that if I install TikTok I'll get addicted. I've seen it happen to friends. I would like to return to email, circa 2000, that was fun.

    I have been addicted to ig. Still can be if I let myself. Reddit can also get me hard. Whatsapp groups I actually love because there's nothing to scroll. Just people lmk about an event and I can interact with them like a human, and I can go to the event. I get to know about things and I don't have to interact with meaningless content alongside it. I love it. What exactly is wrong with Whatsapp groups other than that it's owned by Meta? I also have some Telegram groups.

      I uninstalled Reddit. The noise:signal ratio was getting too small to make the effort worth it. This one I don't actually blame on the social media company, though Reddit are busy enshittifying it. Though I don't really understand why or how HN promotes good conversations and Reddit promotes trolling and ignorance. It can't just be Dang ;)

        Yeah I uninstall it and then I reinstall it every now and then for a bit. HN is infinitely better though limited in scope
