For me it’s input. I have a continually thinking mind that feels that I must have something to say on anything. Whenever I’ve gotten rid of a Reddit account or took even a day or two off from activity on the internet. I had an itch to say something whenever something is reported or something I’ve seen while browsing that peaked my interest.
And I feel I have to say something on it, even if small. But yet I try to restrain myself from doing so because of how manufactured social media has become today.
It’s gotten a little better, mainly because you know, after registering so many accounts for so long and having to upkeep so many. It is tiring to do for me so I think I’m finally slowing down from that to where this issue won’t nearly be as big as it once was.
It’s been no issue whatsoever. I’ve never been on social media to begin with as I’ve seen and experienced all the predecessors. That was enough to cure me entirely. The odd comment on Reddit and now here is plenty enough drama as is.
I mean, you’re on Lemmy and Lemmy is social media. Granted its user hosted but its still social media, with a lot of the same pitfalls.
