Leaving Reddit basically helped me use social media a lot less. And I'm proud of myself.

Yeah it has been nice. I definitely miss out on some news, but it's worth it to avoid a lot of the other content there. I pop in with redreader every so often, but honestly it doesn't seem worth it to ever fully go back.
