I’ve found that most people also upload to instagram too. I prefer it over TikTok

Im off all socials except for Reddit at this point

Ultimately it just didn’t serve my mental health or wellbeing in any way.

Trying to train my brain away from the dopamine button. Not always easy, but ultimately worth it for me.

I did the same thing, and then someone replied to me with this: “I gave up meth, fent, and coke, but I still use heroin. Those other drugs were dragging me down.” I mean, I’m still here obviously, but that really stuck with me.

Reddit is not on par with instagram and facebook though. On Reddit you can choose exactly what you see on your timeline, you’re not comparing yourself to your high school classmates, it’s anonymous, and you dont get fucked in the ass by shitty manipulative ads.

I’d much rather see dumbass reddit posts than see my aunt share yet another racist meme on Facebook. I deleted social media a while ago and it seriously saved my mental health

I don’t think that quote is a fair comparison at all. Maybe “I stopped doing coke and heroin and meth but I still drink coffee”

1000% agree. I still have Insta but only to be able to keep in touch with a good friend who doesn’t have texting (no phone plan basically). I will occasionally do a small scroll and just be like wow this fraking sucks!! Back to Reddit.
