    Hi there, hope you are doing great today!

    I’ve decided to give my social‑media habit the boot. For good. From now on I’ll stick with Lemmy, Lone Earth, and any EU alternatives that prove useful to my needs —especially a WhatsApp replacement (but not Threema; any ideas?).

    Everything else is being systematically disabled until my friends catch on and migrate to the European options I’m using.

    Frankly speaking; I was “addicted” to the endless scroll, and only a radical overhaul will break the cycle.

    Goodbye to X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook—and soon WhatsApp and Youtube.

    My new routine: swap mindless scrolling for productive pastimes. Let the “U.S. tech giants” try to keep me hooked—they’ll fail while I lose myself in a good book.

    All the best to us all,
