I deleted social media around 2.5 years ago. After feeling extreme anxiety and withdrawal for about a week I realized this was the right move. I gained massive amounts of productivity, felt more awake than ever, and realized just how many HOURS I was killing browsing. It sounds like the usual rant, but I truly think that in 10-15 years there will be a huge anti social media movement after we fully realize the damage. Social media as a concept is wonderful but in reality it adds nothing meaningful to our lives.

What if I told you Hacker News is social media?

Rather like minded nerds than fear mongering, fake, AI generated, influencer, 'look at how amazing my life is', 'buy this', new age spirituality 'let go of what doesn't serve you' narcissistic brainwashing the algo machines are pushing.

I like technology. I like making things I love and others can enjoy. I like when others make something they think is cool and love and enjoy and I can enjoy them too.

That's why this place is dope. I can't press 'Share' so that's not social media to me.

Plus I can have my name be FJsdkfhKFsdffflKJSHFl and nobody cares. I can just be me.
