Since… end February… in close connection to this post. I deleted my Instagram (after downloading all my content of course, well apparently not all all). I still have LinkedIn, but I keep it professional, or better put, for professional content. I did join Bluesky and Masterdon (but this I could scrap, as it feel like no-one is there, including myself).

So what is different? I use it (Bluesky) to follow news and politics. It’s like Twitter but without the hate. Random Ridgebacks and once in a while a cat joins my feed.

Do I spend less time on SoMe ? Yes. Do I spend less time with a screen in front of my face? No. I have new subscriptions to one country wide newspaper as well as one local. So, I read a lot more and I see very little funny videos. Looking at my downloaded content I do miss a lot of it. It WAS fun.

Yes, it does make me feel much more educated and less dumb (for spending less time aimlessly scrolling) and maybe a little more boring. I have started a text group (we figured out how we all could use iPhones) so there I meet with them there.

Also interesting is that I call people more often. Not ridiculously much, but I do. Sometimes my friends can’t take the call, and that’s alright. Some I haven’t called and as they haven’t either I guess we don’t miss each-other that much.
