I recently joined a local neighborhood group page on fb, and after that I decided to scroll through my feed of friends’ activity. It was the worst user experience I’ve had on social media in a while and I used to use the official reddit app for two years until recently switching to Infinity. They make promoted and “suggested” content look like the actual content by people on your friends list so I have to constantly check where the content was coming from. There’s no way to turn off the suggestions either.

    Just deleted Twitter, hoping the anxiety subsides a little.

      Yeah Twitter is the most insidiously toxic POS website. Everybody just trying to outsmug clever dunk each other, it disgusted me but was also terribly addictive, fuck that place.

        Unless you’re subscribed to people who never talk politics and don’t fight with others I could see Twitter being acceptable. The last time I went on Twitter I saw the pure sewage that was spewing from everyone, audibly groaned, and then closed the browser.

          I’ve only managed to make it bareable by unfollowing almost every account except for @depthsofwikipedia

      For me it took a few weeks for the itch and anxiety to disappear but give it a month and you’ll forget you ever had it 😊
