That doesn’t involve either masturbating or going to the bathroom.
Mine is leaving Facebook. 4 days ago it has passed its permanent deletion date, so I can no longer recover it. I’ve been on it for 5 years and have been off and on it a little longer beforehand. Yes it sucks that by deleting my Facebook, I’ve closed off the connection to my locals who are on there, who I haven’t seen in 3 1/2 years because I moved.
However, I have tried giving them alternatives to keep in touch but they seemed glued to the platform. Not budging, not caring, though I didn’t want to be around anymore.
I was tired of the ads that I had to keep closing, I was tired of the YouTube shorts-ripoff always shoved in my face that I had to keep closing. I was tired of seeing notifications to things that either didn’t exist or was already read but I got a notification for anyways. I was tired of being recommended people I have had no intention of adding. I was tired of FB Dating, on my phone, making up a number to get me to use it again.
I was just so tired of all of this degradation that FB has become over the years to where it was outweighing whatever use I thought that there was with it.
I’m in the same boat as you except that my activist days will NEVER get behind me, I’m ready and willing as soon as the first shot rings, and I will be on the right side of history.
But I too stopped following news. I have a window, one or two hours at night, where I turn off all electronics, and just sit and think, in silence. I can have pen and paper, I can have a beer or a spliff or I want, but no electronics.
And it has worked wonders for my anxiety and depression. Really, being constantly deflected from your own internal thought processes is just another cancer killing humanity.
