I stopped reading Reddit because the AI was feeding me my echo chamber. Now I use it as a tool if I need something. But I found as I was reading I COULD NOT STOP. Just one more entry, one more, one more. One day I just stopped and took it off my phone.
FB is and always has been a pathetic joke. Twitter became the evil twin of FB.
As for the news. I've also stopped. I gloss through the headlines when I used to spend hours reading.
If the US were a huge freighter, the wheel has been thrown over and we are turning to a new direction that is far away from anything I want to see or, fortunately, will be alive to see.
The next major iteration will be when Trump defies the courts, which he will. One day he's just going to say they are invalid when they try to stop him, they are unpatriotic, just like the constitution. And there will be no one left to support them. There is no reason for this NOT to happen. It is just a matter of time. Half the country is in favor of it.
All we can do is is echo their anguished cry, as the Airplane said.
