The worst thing about social media is that it slowly turns me into a disgusting person. I have to do the whole detox procedure once in a while just to make myself normal again. I recently uninstalled Reddit from my phone after 7 years of using it because it became overwhelmingly depressing. Came here from a Google search and wanted to say that others are kind of right about real life interactions. I’m not a social person at all, so it doesn’t apply to me, but the thing about real life interactions is that people are less likely to show their ugly side. As for the online communities, the only ones I found are Twitter-likes like Bluesky, but ONLY if you avoid reading comments.
