Neocities.org

just some typo fixing :3

jk i made a blog post on a whim

Yes, I'm happy here on neocities, more than social media.

Very true. I've been realizing how much I actually worsened my attention span over time, with that infinite, easy reward. And leaving the "big" sites only made me refresh other things compulsively because it's harder for me now to allocate energy to tasks with no - or slower - rewards. Energy that could be spent not only on tasks, but on healthier hobbies like reading books, creating things...

I've found myself making fake arguments in my head to ppl especially around the time I was still coming out to people/processing their reactions, but social media wise it's the same. I found it's better to block keywords but it doesn't entirely help. I'm happy you're finding ways to get away from it though.

Your experience on Tumblr was very similar to mine on Twitter. It's so tempting to hate-read all the pointless discourse, but now that that app is gone from my phone, I have so much time to spend on my hobbies instead! I try not to focus on all those hours of my life lost...but I am glad to have all that time back for my future.

@mostlypixels, wow i also find myself refreshing other site frequently, like im pacing aorund on the internet (demonstrating its not a perfect fix, but at least a step in the right direction)

@pixelglade yea its definately hard to avoid inflammatory stuff. for myself i knew i had to just remove tumblr entirely bc i just dont have the disipline even if i blocked tags and users. i know i would hate read blogs rather than block them. anyways, good luck on your healthier social media journey!!

@whinona im glad you've also reclaimed your time to spend on much more fullfilling things!! i look forward to the progress in my life i will make ^^
