Thinking About Staying Off Of Social Media

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
