Deleted Twitter.

Deactivated Instagram + Facebook.

Has been MONTHS w/out them.

Life without algorithms and curated feeds has drastically improved my daily clarity and overall mental health

But now YouTube is just as toxic trying to lure me with cheap dopamine (suggested content I don’t subscribe to, image below)

I’m not sure how long it will take, but it makes me more hopeful that the #nostr protocol continues to grow so we can truly control our data and curate our own feeds the way WE want them, not let others decide what content we’re exposed to to manipulate us and keep advertisers happy

how dare they!

While I enjoy looking at that irl, it’s very distracting and designed to keep me on the app longer than necessary by redirecting me down rabbitholes and drain my time.

I found out yesterday I lost my entire collection of SoundCloud tracks because i deleted my Facebook two years ago and the app never made me log in until I got my new phone. My account was signed in under my Facebook

No way to recover via your Facebook login? Or to reset pw any other way?

Feel like there is a way

I’ve tried several login attempts. It seems to be a large downside to not creating your own account. They have you by the balls if you ever think about leaving there ecosystem.
