I haven’t had personal social media since I deleted it all 7 years ago. It was giving me anxiety to post anything, ruining my mental health due to FOMO and comparing myself to other people, and I had concerns about privacy.

However, now, with all these social media companies imploding and new ones starting, it kinda makes me want to rejoin social media again. I do feel out of the loop quite a bit not being on it. I often can’t view posts linked in articles and other places online because I don’t have an account. And I also think I’m way more equipped to handle it now that I’m a stable adult and not a teenager with an identity crisis lol. But I wonder if it’s worth it or if I’ll just regret joining again.

Do you have personal social media? What are your thoughts on it?

  • I used Twitter from 2008-2022, and hated 80% of that time, so I absolutely get where you’re coming from.

    These days I only use Mastodon and Lemmy, and that’s all good with me. I love Masto, it’s pretty chill if you want it to be.
