I browse Reddit for one reason and its amiibo news. Otherwise I avoid the front page like the plague. Ive also disconnected most other social media ( I just go here, discord for some friends and Instagram for the same reason).
I get what you mean though. Its hard to disconnect when you find something on a platform that youve essentially habitualized. Sometimes I catch myself falling into an article journey and I always feel worse for it. But my brain keeps seeking it out. And repeating the hot takes you see on social media, regardless of a side, can be grating to someone who doesnt involve themselves as much now that I find myself on the side of the less connected.
I still have values, and I have a belief system that Ive trained to not be as reactionary. I like to think people arent inherently bad, and its not difficult to explain things they might not understand immediately. As a bi lady, I find that patience is one of the more uncommon virtues my own peers and opponents of my experience seem to lack. But were getting closer each day I think as long as you can find a way to relate your experience to others in a way theyll understand.
Thanks for the topic, I really appreciated thinking about this!
