I’ve deleted all my social media apps (including YOU - LinkedIn).

I’m trying to really see and feel what’s actually missing in my life and trying to build it. Right now I just want to see what my friends are up to in a non-curated way.

Well done, LinkedIn is a cesspool. Ironically the only thing I am using right now is Twitter, since a lot of interesting people are still on there. There's a lot of negative but balance as well. For every MAGA or ESR's comments, I balance it out with Miguel de Icaza's views on Gaza, etc.

  • You should be able to use Twitter without justifying yourself

    • No, I would say at this point a lot of people who say they use twitter feel the need to say they aren't a nazi nor do they support nazi's. YOU may not feel that way, but a lot of people do, and they don't want to be associated in any way with endorsing nazi's or musk.

    • Yeah you are right. But there is some really toxic stuff there too that isn't going away. You can't really filter it.

I just succeeded in doing this https://nashkabbara.com/addictions.html

From what I’ve noticed from my friends we all tend to have different addictions. For some it’s YouTube for others Instagram, etc…

  • that's really cool, instead of installing instagram daily - I found it easier to visit instagram.com. It's so bad that you'll only use it for a little bit before you have to close it
