it’s very common to feel overstimulated by social media.

I think it’s related to the scrolling/skimming effect.

I’m only following 8 or 9 people … and sometimes still get overwhelmed because there will be a large amount of posts - and the topics are often deep, intellectual/technical, emotionally heavy (ex: human rights, freedom, government corruption, resistance of certain groups to positive innovation).

So it might be helpful to channel some of those deeper, technical topics into a “subreddit”-like area … so you go there when you are seeking it out.

And to channel personal, casual, lighter topics into your own personal feed section.
