during summer, i started to replace my fav social apps (instagram, linkedin, definitely twitter, and pinterest) with what i'll call "new wave internet" apps: are.na, zora, warpcast, and my favorite... calendly, to coordinate time to actually talk to my friends again some immediate results from this experiment: - i feel like i need to buy way less when my brain isn't being constantly flooded with ads - i feel way more creative bc i dont feel like my imposter syndrome is being stoked as much - my screen time is naturally dropping bc these apps are kind of denser... they're just not as addictive, and so i can really only use them for so long before i feel "full"... it's like discovering real food again after living on cheetoh puffs for years - i feel happier. i didnt realize how much i missed having real live conversations. i'm not abstaining completely nor did this experiment fix my entire life... but i will say the data i got back was way more tangible than i thought it would be.

Yes!! I agree. I find my interactions here to be meaningful in ways very different than the interactions I have on instagram (funnily I never used twitter) - and the dense nature of the content I think is why? I get to see and read from multiple POVs but down-select to those I want to engage with further! Even if the space is small and niche, and I’m definitely not the target demographic for “being early” here, I find it a fun and engaging place to poke around
