It'd be a privilege to be able to disconnect from the feeds, but trying to rebuild in-person social interactions when you're old and have no family or local friends really sucks. Facebook's become:

* Who died this week

* Spammers liking your posts and asking for friend adds

* Gofundme's for ppl who will now spend the rest of their lives in medical debt

* Interesting articles maybe twice a week or so.

Nobody I know in town is on Mastodon or BSky.

The silence is deafening.
