I want to get away - I got to get away yeah yeah yeeeeaaaahhhh

I realize I've slowly been decentralizing my social media for a surprisingly long time now.  I'm rarely active on Facebook, mostly using Messenger for sending and receiving higher quality pics and videos with family (mostly my mom and wife) that texting allows (I'm android, she's apple).  I haven't had an imgur account in years.  I've deleted my reddit accounts in protest of the moderation changes earlier this year.  I don't do tiktok or Instagram, etc.

I do like, comment, and subscribe on YouTube, I'm getting active again in several of my Discord servers, and I'm trying to be more active here, but I feel like YT doesn't count since I rarely have discussions there, just snarky observations or supportive comments for the creators and it's Discord "social media" or just a chat service?  Blurred lines there. This place, well, it's Old Social Media, and well off the beaten path of most of the rest of the Internet.

I'm still quite guilty of doom scrolling Reddit, though, even though I'm not signed in to an account.  It's.... It's toxic, really.  I won't deny part of me goes there for things like the demise of Trump and the hypocrisy of the Republican party, AITAH (am I the asshole) posts, petty revenge... It's not good for karma, it's not good for emotional or mental health.

I'll be starting my own NeoCity site soon so I can create a webring and link to all the blogs, forums, webcomics, and such that I forget about it my doom scrolling.  In the meantime, check out this article about Eternal Septembers.
