Your best bet is just to get rid of all social media. I honestly think that the drama that social media encourages is unhealthy and subtly ruining people's lives.
It gives the impression that certain political groups are more influential than they are. It encourages outrage culture and the censorship that follows that movement. It's a lazy tool for certain types of journalists.
There's so many more constructive things to do than use social media. Delete your accounts, wait a month for any addictive urges to pass and enjoy life again.
- ikeboy 11y ago... Do you not consider hn social media, and if not, why not?
- probably_wrong 11y agoFor me, "social media" implies that I can use the platform to wish you a happy birthday. It should also allow me to show the world what I care about (people I know, topics I like, etc) just by visiting my profile. HN allows neither, so I wouldn't count it as so. I'd probably classify it as "news site with comments", but not "social media".
