I finally deleted my corporate accounts (twitter, reddit) because the alternatives were finally good enough to use. Still on Facebook and WhatsApp though because of some stubborn friends and family
- Stopped using reddit, went here instead.
- Intensified my Mastodon usage, winding down my Twitter activity.
- Started using my own mail server for more than just a few tests.
- Changed search engines a few times (I'll probably stick with Kagi now).
- Reduced my subscriptions and cleaned up my RSS feeds.
- Stopped doomscrolling (I subscribed to a weekly paper newspaper instead).
- Started using Ulysses for writing. Works very well.
If you subscribe to RSS feeds that sometimes due ads in the form of articles (looking at you daringfireball); services like SiftRSS let you use Regex to filter out titles that match (i.e., sponsor, sponsorship) so you only get organic content.
My RSS reader (Newsblur) lets me do that too, to some extent.
reddit + apollo 🤬
lemmy + mlem 😍
