I’ve noticed that since I’ve started using the SmolNet, my habits have changed. I’m on the clearnet a lot less, and certainly using social media a lot less! I used to go on Reddit and Youtube on my iPad every night in my bes, but now I barely touch them. Not out of spite or anything, but because I’m genuinely not interested in using them. Instead, I spend my time browsing Gemini and Gopher, and checking on places like this. I feel more connected to this community, and I’m not so scared about sharing stuff here. I also feel like modern social media has too much stuff on it and feels overwhelming, if that makes sense.
Anyone else noticed anything like this?

Yes, definitely. I obviously still use the Clearnet plenty but I'm usually more attached to my Gemini haunts these days, especially Station. I'm still paranoid about sharing certain things (I have an internet stalker who may have figured out how to follow me around Gemini too) but I absolutely share this sentiment. · 2 years ago
