I’m reflecting on others’ decisions to step away from social media, having come back to mastodon after time elsewhere (Twitter).
For me: news media and social media blur. I follow happenings of the world that mainstream media don’t always pick up, especially activism. But I’m aware that I’m trading editorial indifference for algorithmic prurience.
Also me: the #smallstories and art of strangers have helped me pay more careful attention to the world I live in, on this planet we share.
