I'm happy to say I've mostly disengaged w social media but moreso bc I don't care what anyone else is doing. I'm glad you're at least continuing with Substack, brother, bc I just paid for this subscription! XD Jk I've really valued digging into your deeper thoughts after consuming and collaborating with your art all these years. I'll stay over here on Tumblr: it's like a time portal into when the internet was slower and more anon with no way to make money. Jk, I know looking for another app to scroll is the opposite of your point of this article, but it's at least lacking in snarky political fights and instead abundant in feather-softcore goth porn (at least mine is).
I’ve been off X and Facebook for the better part of a year now. Accounts deleted. I have to say, I really enjoy not knowing what’s going on in those spaces. It’s just much better for my mental health, and my productivity. 🙂

I love the concept of a retreat to little corners of the internet that maintain the old ways. Viva la Tumblr!

I wish you well in your battles!
Much to think about Benn. Thanks
