The longer and more thoroughly you do so, the less aware you are; after a while you can be quite out of touch with the people and world around you. You live in a society, and it's better to know your enemy than to be oblivious to them. Social networking with less social can be a hug box trap.

Nothing WRONG with doing it, however. It's your right to be anywhere on the scale between being very social and total isolation.

I feel like this presumes people don't have irl community and social networks. The Internet and social media isn't my only view into the world. People are their worst selves online because there is no duty of care to each other.

I think it's absurd to say that filtering your social media, something that inherently depends on engagement and algorithms, gives you a more narrow worldview. As if each social media doesn't have inherent bias.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
