You know you have to go offline completely, at least for a while, when

- it is very difficult to get some sleep at all #insomnia
- and if so the "dreams" are nightmares in dystopian scenarios of violent suppression, hunting down people...

while in real life you personally not even close to live in a warzone or are a member of any "targeted group" - yet.

(Am white, senior, male, not "poor"..)

So i'm taking a break. All that horrible shit will go on anyway. 😒

🖖

Feeling drained by endless scrolling?

Take a 30-day social media detox and reclaim your focus, sleep, and mental clarity.

Welp, I tried Reddit. Thought it might be a good place to publish some work, so I went ahead and put it up there. My this thing: https://murderofarcwolves.substack.com/p/popping-ffxivs-time-bubble

Let's just say that it would be awful if the FFXIV Community on Reddit were to suddenly have to, as a group, face the Bene Gesserit Gom Jabbar Test of Humanity. Like, 98% of them would be dead from immediately ripping their hand right out of that box. So sad, a life lived only by instinct and wholly without self-awareness.

Sounds like my abusers. Glad they're gone from my circle. Now so is Reddit, thank goodness!

Honestly, something like this would've been awful if I still cared what strangers on the internet thought of me. As with my abusers, I now see them as the weak, terrified, little monsters that they are, keeping their boots on the faces of kind, empathetic giants just so they can see above their own self-loathing.

It's why I can be here. Because I am free to post, receive no interaction, and continue to post happily again tomorrow. And because you are lovely enough that you make it worth it to come back tomorrow even if nothing comes from my posts today. 💙

Thank you for that, BTW!

This is the power of compensatory ego-building, which I highly recommend for any kind person who's self-esteem has also been stomped to mush by weak, terrified, little monsters who we taught ourselves to fear because we didn't wanna be mean and laugh at them instead.

This is my second month YouTube free*

Honestly, it's really nice to have space in my evenings. I feel like I have time for games and projects again, because 1-3 hours of my day doesn't go to the black hole of video recommendations.

*I still watch things that people specifically send me, or that are part of e.g. a post here. I do not browse or go outside of that single video though.

I don't want that time taken up again.

Meta stoppte eine Studie, die zeigte: Eine Woche ohne Facebook & Instagram reduziert Angst, Einsamkeit & Depressionen deutlich. Doch die Ergebnisse wurden nie veröffentlicht – angeblich wegen methodischer Mängel. Wie schadet Social Media unserer Psyche? 🤔📉 #MentalHealth #SocialMediaDetox #Meta https://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/Ohne-soziale-Medien-weniger-einsam-Meta-stoppt-Studie-id30057194.html

For the change of seasons, I used to do all relevant #spellwork, #cleansing, decor, card pulls, and other seasonal #rituals in one day during the Solstices or Equinoxes. I've realized that's not really the move given my #AuDHD brain lol. So lately I'm slowly doing some cool tasks leading up to the #Fall #Equinox.

This is also my first change of season since deciding to do semi-regular screen breaks/dopamine detoxes, and I'm looking forward to it! I took my first ever intentional detox back in July, and holy shit, I felt so calm during it. Going forward, I'm planning on doing them for 5-7 days during Solstices and Equinoxes, so my first seasonal detox is coming up this Monday. I get overstimulated easily, so I'm hoping that disconnecting from so much stimuli semi-regularly is enough to keep me regulated. I'm thinking about adding a short 2-3 day social media break mid-way through seasons too if I need it.

Why Avoid Mainstream Social Media?

Many big platforms (Meta/Facebook, TikTok, Twitter/X) have ties to surveillance, unethical data practices, and geopolitical influence (whether U.S., China, Israel, or others). Decentralized, open-source alternatives give you control over your data and who profits from it. #beinformed #socialmediadetox #corruption

I'll be less on here (and other social media) in #July - trying to claw some more of my focus back and reduce the doom interactions, while still maintaining some connections and information flow.

I'm thinking that a few minutes over lunch break are probably okay; the mornings and evenings are the worst.

My first free membership post of the year is more wordy rather than arty, but it may inspire? I've got some thumbnails of a dragon I'm working on too... membership.emilyhare.co.uk/why-i-remove... #socialmediadetox #deletingsocialmedia #socialmediaaddiction

Why I Removed All Social Media...

Na dann. Nachdem ich schon länger drüber nachgedacht habe und mich die neuesten Entwicklungen & Geschehnisse offen gesagt noch mehr "geschockt" haben, räume ich meine digitale Welt mal etwas auf ...
Adios, #instagram und #twitter 😜

I'M BACK! How have you been? :blobheartcat:

My 7 days total social media blackout + detox is now complete and I'm here again, stronger than ever!

Where to know your break from social media is enough? The session cache has been expired and you've been logged out.

Good to be back. Now let's read all those hundreds of notifications.

Nu skal 1.g'erne snart i deres nye klasser.

Kunne man evt. lave en digital hyttetur : Log ud af alle sociale medier og brug kun et klasseTeam. I en uge.

@simon er ist der beste! Ich schaffe es nicht ihn zu enttäuschen 😂 #SocialMediaDetox

Schwere Entscheidungen stehen an: Wird dies ein ich-kann-#DigitalArt-Posting? Reihe ich mich ins #mondaymotivation ein (büschn spät eigentlich... *hust*)? Illustriere ich den alljährlichen Kampf mit meiner Steuer? Oder meine erste Reaktion gestern nach meinem #SocialMediaDetox nach dem Kreuzchen?...
Vielleicht bleibt dies auch einfach eine #weekmotivation:
Ab durch die Zäune. Reinbeißen! Dran bleiben! Und vielleicht lächelt ihr ein bisschen. Das wäre gut. 💚

Als je al wekenlang hoofdpijn hebt en dan nog drie weken op je bestelde bril moet wachten lukt het wel om van die scherm(pjes) af te blijven #elknadeel #SocialMediaDetox

The First Social Media Detox weekend went well. I had two turns on Facebook Messenger twice because some of my friends insist on sending me messages there 😆

All in all, I wasn't tempted to doom scroll.

#SocialMedia #SocialMediaDetox #DetoxWeekend

It may seem strange, but I've started writing down my personal manifesto on how I handle my social media usage. Those will be guidelines to follow, simply because I want to revert to using social media as a tool more mindfully.

Starting tomorrow, I will do my best to have Social Media Detox weekends, which means I will not use any social media on Saturdays and Sundays, including chat modules such as Facebook Messenger.

And to be fair, Mastodon and Calckey are also included in this experiment. Join me if you want, and let's share our experiences on Monday.
