   Additional proposal: be intentional. That is, if you need to use a big social network, plan in advance what you want to use it for and then do *only* those things and stop when you’re done.

   So if you want to update your friends, do *just that* and then log off.

   There are healthier ways to get the constant stream of stimulation social networks give you. Mastodon/fediverse is one, RSS aggregators (e.g. Feedly) are another.

     Social media profits off hate and anger because it generates more #engagement. Let’s fight back with compassion.

     Take Control:

     Pause → Remember there’s a real person behind the screen: Don’t be so quick to unfollow or publicly argue with someone who posts something you disagree with.

     Be compassionate → Try a private message to ask why they feel that way, with genuine curiosity and a desire to understand.
