I'm not sure how many other people have been feeling like this, but lately, social media has become SOOOO insufferable. Like more than usual.
Every time I log onto a social media app, it's so lame! All I see is people bullying each other for existing, new made up insecurities, missinformation, and ai slop. I'm so sick of it T_T I can litteraly feel my brain rotting with every scroll </3
I've managed to quit most of the ones I used that I felt were bad for me (Mostly cause they were Meta and I HAATE Meta with a burning passion)The only thing keeping me from quitting the most insufferable one (TikTok...) and being freeee is that it's where I talk to my online friends, and some of my Irl friends really like keeping up there ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
I've been wanting to just go back and use a flip phone and older tech recently, I really don't mean to sound like an old angry man, but really all a phone is for is to call and text people TwT I don't need a tiny computer in my pocket at all times.
SO,
I've been thinking about just trying it out for a week or so to see how modern life as a teen is without a cell. Then I can just ask my friends online for other ways to communicate with them, and my life is cured ( ` ꒳ ´ )✧
I really think Tumblr, YouTube, Spacehey, and Discord are just fine to interact with other people online and to interact with fandom spaces you're in! I also feel like they're just a lot funner :D
This became more of a rant than I intended, lol, but I'd love to hear what others think about this!! ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

MAD SCIENCE
It's totally possible to ditch all of it. You just have to create and fill your time with other things, your future self will thank you for it. As for your friend's on those apps, put them on revolt or matrix or guilded some other chat app then post tons of dank memes there as bait to get them hooked on that instead ;)
