all social medias are well aware of how addictive they are, and they exploit that fact to the absolute best of their ability. that i replaced my reddit addiction with lemmy addiction is irrelevant–i still spend unhealthy amounts of time on it.
i’m just thankful i never took root in any of the other instatwitsnaptok platforms. i was on facebook for a long time, but finally deleted it. you realize how liberating it is to be done with it, once you’re out of the habit of constantly checking it every few minutes
can everyone please for the love of fucking god just delete twitter already?

I…
MEDIOCRE!!!
And block all their DNS hostnames across all their personal devices? 🥰
life would 100% go on just fine if i never saw another embedded tweet ever again

I deleted the app when he switched to X but I was addicted to the content so I kept going via browser.

I never signed up. I never saw the point of it. Still don’t, other than ego stroking and brain dumping.
