Social media as a whole is slowing down I think. People are starting to realize it makes them angry, sad, and annoyed.

[–] DaCookeyMonsta@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm doing the least social media I've done since Facebook became a thing and now I realize that without those emotions I'm just kind of bored.

Find a hobby or learn something. The internet has so much to give that isn't outrage and horror.

He's a guy I like watching now and again building a solar array by himself

Well that was a fascinating watch. Thanks for the link. I'll definitely be watching more of his videos.

Internet in general is becoming boring and tedious. Don't know if it's because of my age (Started to use internet when I was 13yo now I'm 31) but the internet isn't that exciting and curiosity inducing place to me.

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Have you continued exploring, or found yourself settling in more?

For me any place stagnates when I start settling into it, so I try to find a new angle, a new question to ask of it, and eventually something gives way to something exciting and fascinating that was right around the corner the whole time.

I continued exploring it. But, aside of one or other interesting sites that catch my attention for long periods of time (e.g. TvTropes), I can't find internet amusing as I used to do in my childhood/teens. Sometimes I pick a good site that keep me entertained while browsing CloudHiker, but isn't the same thing anymore.

This ain't a problem with the internet, it's just because you're getting older and you've seen more things.

I literally bought a Lightphone II because I was spending too much time on reddit. Like, I'd stay in bed for an hour just scrolling.

I've recently slacked off and started keeping my iPhone (on wifi) next to me when I sleep. I loose interest in like 20 minutes.

I've made a point of not posting or commenting on reddit since the recent debacle, but it's really frustrating when I have some OC that would be great for a niche community that just doesn't exist in any real numbers on lemmy.

like Playdate dev or Framework laptop.

There's nothing wrong with browsing your social media whereever that be Facebook or Instagram or messageboards like lemmy reddit or 4chan just as long as it's not impacting your life. Could be a good way to catch up on friends and pass the time. Although "social media detoxing" can be really good for your mental health

Good god, I sure hope so.
