Honestly, like… internet was mostly text and then it became pics and then videos, now you can barely see texts anymore and, for some reason, it sucks 🫠

i’m definitely not the first person here to make a rec about this, but my tired brain is truly rejoicing. i have a very hard time completely leaving it since i communicate and share creative work through the app, but i think i’ve decided i will only be on it once a week or when i need/want to post. that’s all. as an already anxious person, seeing the same anxiety-inducing general information (as in something i could easily find on google or a news app) be reposted by 20+ people on their stories has become HELL, especially these last few weeks. not only that, but the constant push of personal opinions about such matters (even if i agree with them) just seems to warp your perception of people. maybe i’m just a wimp, but i don’t think humans were meant to see each other in such a way; we’re not so flashy and impulsive face to face. add the endless scrolling onto that, and it’s downright exhausting and kills productivity. there is so much more dimension and depth to humans and life than what is said or done or seen through this screen. can we please go back to flip phones?

Watching this video from Mina Le about the current state of social media, and I have to say, I've really been feeling a lot of nostalgia for the era of social media from 2010-2019 or so. It seemed like a totally different world. I think it's one of the reasons I found myself attracted to Pi.FYI--it reminded me of this now-halcyon era of the internet when it felt more like a cloud of folks sharing what they loved and kind of blogdumping, before the rise of rage-fueled algorithms and the consolidation of major social media outlets into the hands of 2-3 companies.

Features such as “like“ and “share” aren’t good either
