After spending so long focusing on my diet of food and drink, it was hard to finally commit to disciplining my diet of information.
But now that I’m largely on the other side of it, it’s amazing. Cutting out legacy news media was pretty easy, but deleting X and significantly reducing time on Reddit, Instagram, and even nostr took a while. I recently got a #Brick and I think that was the final nail in the coffin.
It feels great when a friend asks me about the latest trend, fad or news and I can honestly say, “I haven’t heard about that. Can you explain it to me?” It’s a much healthier way to buffer and process information IMO.
