Hello there! Are you tired of modern social media being oversaturated, overstimulating, overwhelming, and leaving you constantly doom scrolling? Do you want a place you can disappear onto and create yourself a little safe haven for yourself away from socmed? I have some very cool places to share with you, that I think should become utilized more!
I myself, have been working on weening myself off of modern social media, there are certain ones I haven't left yet: Tumblr, Bluesky and Toyhouse being the main ones, but they don't have that toxic addictive feeling for me personally. I can step away from them when I want to easily. I had the most difficult time letting go of Xitter, Instagram, Discord and Tiktok for some reason. But I am rid of those thankfully now. So, here are a few options, in categories that I hope you will explore, see if it's up your alley or not! You never know unless you try it first, yknow?
