Rec | BLOCKING PEOPLE

😃

This goes for all social platforms—instead of commenting on someone’s post you could just block them and never be bothered by their content ever again.

The number of accounts I have blocked on tik tok and ig is actually crazy lol. Once I realized I didn’t need a reason to block content I don’t want I went all in. I remember a while back seeing someone post “wow I never see anything about the kardashians anymore” and I was like, oh my gosh they’re so right, and then I remembered I’ve also had them blocked for forever😂 I will say I’ve never blocked anyone here but I feel like this is such a great place for recommendations and open discourse I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone be mean. (knock on wood)

@SAYLOR I have the same exp but I block people I find annoying, regardless whether or not they are mean. I’ve seen a few posts that have made me cringe and that I don’t think belong on this app so instead of being a curmudgeon and commenting I just blocked them lol

Blocking people (respectfully)

I just saw someone I know in real life on here so I blocked her. That’s not what this app is for.

actions I do to reduce social media consumption

1) i realized some time ago that alot of social media, with whatever algorithm they use, will try their best to push whats most popular to you. No matter if it’s positive or negative. So while Im on insta, I tend to delete the app and redownload it a day later when I catch them doing that. It’s like a mini reset but not really. But alongside that, i have made the conscious effort not to doomscroll and to dislike and report posts/comments/videos that are willfully harmful and spread misinformation. 2) i look back into the areas where i spent a lot of time online as a child when i didn’t have social media. And that place was Youtube and rewatching comfort shows and finding new outlets that don't trigger me. Sometimes that’s finding people online that only have like 5k subscribers. The other well known site that doesn’t have awful people on there is Pinterest 😂 i never had an awful time on there outside of the ads 3) like i am the child of the house, i limit the content on my phone. On the Iphone at least you can set timers to how long you have been on an app each day and block certain websites.

Turn off Likes and Comments on instagram

This has been a total game-changer for me. It shifts the focus away from validation and back to just enjoying the content. I love posting and being able to share without any expectations or pressure from others feels so refreshing—it lets me just enjoy the app without all the noise. I’m foreseeing a future movement. 🙂‍↔️

SHOWING OFF YOUR PUDGY TUMMY AS IF YOU WERE SKINNY

It feels wild and freeing to do something that you have been conditioned to not do. No one is looking at you!!! And if they are they probably think you look cute af.

NOT BRINGING A PURSE TO A CONCERT

Having your hands and shoulders free as a girly is just so liberating I’m like yeah I only have what I need in my pockets I can run fast and dance around without a care in the world. Alternative rec— pants with big pockets!
