I mean some people are just spammers aren’t they? (in the worst mundane way) and I am not consuming it 🙅🏽 I prefer people who post when there’s actually something cool to see… because I don’t need to see every single minute of your day.
On a side note: I have been more conscious of my followings on social media. I make sure it’s gardening content , or engineering related or things good for the mind (as good as it could be for something online). We are partly responsible for what’s on our feed!

or really any social media stories. I know social media is just a highlight of a persons life but I feel like the stories feature is just a bombardment of happening-in-present-time content for me to compare myself to. my mental health has improved drastically.

i limit my insta usage cuz fuck meta but like i want to get fashion inspo.
when it comes to reels, i realized very quickly how the algorithm will spew the worst stuff onto me, and even after i say i don’t want to see this stuff, it will do it again.
it’s at this point that im just super mindful of what im absorbing on my feed.

For instance, follow fewer accounts, or at least use the Favorites feature to concentrate on the ones most valuable to you.
When you go to ig, switch your feed to Following or Favorites so all you see is what you want, in normal chronological order, instead of ads and promoted posts that never end.
Turn off the like count for your posts, too
Social media now is set up to benefit the app companies. The apps prioritize engagement, not enjoyment. You have to work around that, unfortunately.
I follow friends/family members, bands I like, and some people in Gaza. I don’t see any reels or suggested posts or anything else Meta wants to force on us. I run out of posts to look at in maybe ten minutes.
I won’t discourage anyone from deleting ig, but it is possible to make it useful and enjoyable (at least for now).

Yeah so I signed up to do kiwi fruit tasting for $70. It‘s a one hour session.
Oh to be a student.

I fear we've become socially paralysed online. Be perceived and do the perceiving. The internet that you want to live in starts with you.
