We all know social media can be toxic and it's addicting. I'm thinking about staying off social media for a while and just sticking to posting on forums, discord and reddit only. I will probably log into my Mighty No. 9 Universe accounts to announce the reopening of the forums once it's all good to go, but other than that I'm just going to stay off these platforms. I don't like doom scrolling, and seeing all the negative posts gets to me at times. I'm going to make a status on Facebook telling my friends and family that if they wish to get a hold of me they can message me on messenger, Discord, or text/call.

Thinking About Staying Off Of Social Media

Update: I made a status on Facebook telling people they can find me on Discord, Reddit, and forums. I shared my Discord account but the invite code is only good for a week unfortunately. I was hoping I could get a code that never expires, but you can't apparently when it comes to your own personal account. You can get never expiring invites for your servers though.

People know I'm Team Forum. We are just way friendlier lol I've been on FaceBook before many years ago & their groups but you get lost in the thousands of members. It is more for a popularity contest than forming lasting friendships. I had deleted that account years ago but had to make another one. Even for simple local businesses, they all have FaceBook pages instead of emails if you want to ask them a question!
What you could do is just let them know they can find you on Reddit & Forums & can contact you there since the code expires for Discord.

I'm thinking about popping back in for a short period. Just enough to thank the people for the birthday wishes and sending out links to my websites and Discord again lol. It's been great taking a break from Facebook though for sure! It's been about a month now. (Well a month tomorrow but meh lol.) I know one of my coworkers wants me to get back on Facebook since he likes my posts.

Well encourage your coworker to join your forum
Then start posting here what you post there. Win win lol

I'll see if he'd be up for joining lol. Though he's not the most technically inclined. I can always help him join though!

Forums are quite explanatory once you get the hang of it. I have a How To Guide on HOST to help people.

I think I'm going to stay off social media for good this time around. Or at least Facebook, Bluesky is fine and I'll keep using Youtube. I plan on making a status, and just not log into my account much if at all. I already hate that we have fascists in office, now Facebook has been forcefully making people like Trump's page even if you didn't like it before. I think it will help my mental health too, thankfully most of the posts I've been seeing have been anti Trump at least but of course the pro Trump posts will appear again I'm sure.

Well I never made that status, but I haven't been on Facebook in a few days now. Instead I'm browsing Reddit on my breaks and lunch. I even limited my Bluesky time because I keep seeing political things, which I understand it's crappy what's going on now but I want to unplug from that and try to live a normal life without getting angry all the time.

Have you tried muting some of that content on Bluesky? That’s what I did and I no longer see political content on my feed.
If you go to your settings, then to moderation, you can add words and phrases that you don’t want to see on your feed. It’ll block everything relating to that particular content.

I honestly forgot they have that feature thank you for reminding me! I'm going to do that when I log back into my Bluesky account. Thankfully they make it easier to block certain words unlike other platforms.
