Ever since Twitter "died", I uninstalled X from my phone. Still log in once a week or so on PC to see what my internet friends are up to, but overall I find I don't miss it as much as I thought I would have.
Definitely way less doom scrolling in my life lately and a positive impact to my mental health.
It's jarring to unplug, but somehow feels like it's the right thing.

It took me about a month before the anxious voice "Check notifications! Check follower count! How many likes!? SCROLL! REFRESH!" finally faded away. I still check Twitter every once in a while, too. Maibly for breaking news. I gotta tell ya, it's liberating not to have to think about it. The Fedi is therapeutic by comparison.
