> Anyone else feel the same way? Actually yes, but as a result, I left the internet I know behind. I don't use Twitter (aka X) or Facebook. I'm following friends on Instagram, but not adding any photos to the training pool anymore. I read Reddit as a last resort. I use a small Mastodon instance, follow people who are interesting. Read blogs of a select few, and discover new ones via their links or rings. Instead of IRC, I have found a Discord server frequented by the same people. Oh, also, I frequent here. I also left GitHub because of their AI shenanigans and don't miss that place. I still use it for work reasons, but my code lives in quieter places. Left Google search for Kagi. Started to self-host things, cutting ties with online services more. As a result, I'm building my own sub-internet with the resources I choose to use. I refuse to be bombarded with ads and AI-slop. I miss the old internet, but not the new one. The one I'm curating for myself serves all purposes for me.
