i have had this overwhelming exhaustion with social media lately, and it has led me on the search for more thoughtful ways to connect with the internet.
i have found social media feeds to be exhausting, and everything new i seem to learn about their configuration makes me more and more frustrated! so, I find myself venturing into corners of the internet and trying to adopt ways to disconnect from all the frenzy while still occupying my time.
the results of my search have been quite interesting, and i have been excited to explore some solutions. my first exploration led to a couple of RSS feeds, partially influenced by the temporary tik tok ban where I saw a lot of creators i love more to substack. i have been using the feeeed app on mobile, but have been struggling to find more feeds to connect and it does not have a desktop option. this search also led me to starting a digital garden.
the goal with this exercise is simply to enjoy my time online more. i want to research topics that interest me, and avoid the rage bait that has become ingrained in most social medias.
