Getting rid of most social media has been one of the best things I have ever done. I didn’t just delete my accounts, I also blocked the sites so I can’t visit them.
The best one to delete was definitely reddit. It’s too easy to doomscroll. It’s such a time sink, and being hyper-aware of everything that’s going on nowadays just made me anxious all the time.
HN hasn’t proven to be much of an issue for me. I guess it’s just less active, so I run out of new content faster whenever I visit.
- Drew_ 1y agoI did the same, but I'm still holding on to Reddit with many restrictions: - No mobile apps - 10 min/day time limit on web - Only browse 6 subreddits individually - Filtering all posts below a certain karma level (depending on the subreddit) - Collapsing all comments by default This has completely changed my relationship with the platform for the better. I would quit it entirely, but unfortunately it's the best news source for a few of my hobbies.
