grayestofghosts | Thinking about the Digital Minimalism thing... (Reply)

For some reason I keep being recommended the digital minimalism sub on Reddit and a lot of it is people 10-15 years younger than me complaining that social media is ruining their life. And it kind of makes me think, because so much of the blame is on social media when it seems like a lot of their problem is that it is constantly accessible on a phone. And then I realize that these young people probably do not remember a time when social media existed, but you had to physically be at a computer to use it, and how different of an experience that was, or when social media was slow, and it was only really worth it to check updates once or twice a day, if that.

I dunno, I don't really have any deep thoughts here I guess.
