Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

This is the only social media I have, before it was Reddit. I haven't had a Facebook since 2016, I've never had any accounts on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc ether.
I think it's totally possible to go without social media if you really want to.
Like everyone, lemmy is the app that am mostly using. Maybe because of eternity app.
And am trying to quit every other media as it becomes annoying. Its cluttering my mind.
Do what's good for you
For some people it means unfollowing toxic accounts and limiting contacts, for others it might mean deleting accounts.
You also don't have to do it all at once. Unfollow accounts when posts come up, or take a pass through your stuff in a while
That's actually quite similar to what I've been doing. No FB or any of the other platforms since 2015. Only reddit since then and now lemmy. Since August started using Mastodon which I mostly use to post stuff I find interesting, usually articles and whatever I maybe reading about, instead of doomscrolling.
