Originally posted by Dorito I never had to follow many people using Twitter, and nobody ever cared for what I posted there (probably because posting things sporadically is not something the algorithm likes), so that's more or less what happened to me. I guess not paying attention to the news kind of is burying your head in the sand, but if the alternative is having a bunch of angry people yelling at each other (and potentially you) and next to no possible way to calm them down, I prefer burying my head in the sand. Social media has a bunch of cool things being shared as well, it's just easily drowned out by all the arguing. ____________________ "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." --Ram Dass |

i got bored of my smartphone and barely use it now unless i’m chatting w/ someone, which is often on my computer anyway. my tip is to get a smaller and more inconvenient model and only have the apps that you actually need. i never put games on mine.
also, i barely consume ppl’s content, more just putting content out there. i hardly see anything exciting anymore, so it’s w/e. i’ve had several posts go viral already, so notifications are p. mundane to me. ____________________ sofi t · sc · tw · ig |

| I used to get notifications for whenever my friends posted on tumblr, and I would spend hours and hours a day in the app, just looking at all the stuff they posted. Then one day, the notifications stressed me out, so I disabled them. I suddenly (and unintetionally) went from using tumblr 4 hours a day to 0 hours a day, and basically have only gone back to say "woops sorry for disappearing, but I'm spending more time talking to my friends instead of on here, sorry" After a couple of months of barely using it, I deleted the app from my phone. ____________________ ♥ I'm nonbinary (they or she pronouns) ♥ |

I like to know when someone interacts with my art on tumblr, but I don't need to know everything else that happens on tumblr, and there's no way to do that, so I disabled the lot.

Tumblr is funny because the notifications are so pushy, like that one that was going around Twitter a few weeks ago that was just Beep beep! Mental illness is here!

Tumblr is the neediest fucking app, seriously.
Oh, so-and-so has posted! You'll miss it! Such-and-such did a thing that is popular! Have a look! This inane thing is trending, please don't leave us!! Oh and one person liked your art. ____________________ Tarale.net |

That's one reason I'm really glad I can turn all of that shit off for Masto/Twitter and just get messages, none of the other crap.

I haven't really done anything real with my tumblr since the net neutrality stuff began. I only log in to view nsfw marked blogs sometimes. Otherwise I never use it.
(Related: Discord likes to replace image previews on links to yahoo with a poop emoji. I guess they feel the same about yahoo/yahoo-related stuff.) ____________________

You also haven't posted in like, years last I knew.
It probably doesn't find you 'hip' enough to get the latest. wwwwww ____________________

Found the notification options in Mastodon a few days ago, so I did as X did and turned off the ones for favourites/retoots. Although still nice, it's remarkable how little they suddenly matter. ____________________ "Rusted old machines should stay home and play with their toasters!" |
