I am gravely disappointed by the direction my feeds are going on other social media apps, so I need to gome back to something with... less of a typical algorithm. So here I am. Listen I know I keep making "I should come back" posts but this time I actually wanna come back. I wanna go back to simpler times, less infinite scrolling onto garbage content that doesn't do anything for me. Nothing I'm witnessing on other apps is giving me any sort of dopamine anymore, and it's just making me depressed. So I'm back. I'm wanting to streamline my internet usage into things that make me happy. Back to art, games, blogging, writing, long-form youtube videos, and hobbies that actually do something for my brain. So I set a screen time limit on Tiktok, and this is where I will document my progress on downscaling my daily doomscrolling.
Day 1:
I set a 1 hour screen time limit for Tiktok. I will be consciously avoiding YouTube shorts and Reels as they're basically the same thing. Today I have a friends birthday BBQ to go to, which is a solid distraction as well. I realistically know that short form content is addictive, and the only thing making this easier is the fact that my algorithm turned to hot fucking garbage LOL. Anyone have any cool sites or something they'd recommend? Anything to do with friends or things to disconnect. I'm chronically ill so things indoors is much preferred.
