I gave up social media for this reason. EVERYTHING is so politicised and agenda-centric on all platforms and news sites.
It was effecting me really badly, to the point that I made the decision to leave the room when the news is playing, switch to a dumb phone, switch to an mp3 player, and get rid of all social media including reddit. So I don’t use a smartphone, and don’t carry it with me day-day.
On my laptop I even went as far as blacklisting all the typical sites.
I’m only 30. It’s very hard when it feels like you’re alone in acting this way. It’s a very isolating life trying to have principals.
I also recently learnt I have adhd, so that may be why I’m so sensitive to it.
But like i say, it’s an isolating feeling.
