NEW YEAR NEW ME!!!
No but on a more serious note, I always do like to evaluate the past year on this day. I’ve noticed that I let myself get stuck in a drag in my daily life much more than I needed to. Weeks could go by where I just worked, ate, watch some dumb show and slept. And it made me unhappy. A few weeks ago I decided that I’m going to change the way I spent my time so that I have more meaningful interactions with my friends, family and gf and so that I can prevent myself from becoming a zombie.
You guys have any plans?
Smart move. I deleted twitter, fb, and insta with my partner for the new year. Twitter was the hardest for me to break, but it’s like your twitch, already doing wonders for my mental health.
Google is a tough one… especially the play store, and Google play services. I have a Xiaomi phone, but it’s still heavily tied to Google.
What you doing for messaging? Afaik signal relies on Google play services.
Yeah Signal sucks. Its raison d’etre is security and it’s not secure.
Luckily most people I know have WeChat (I should have specified Western big tech comapanies), it’s mostly overseas friends that don’t and they’re mostly on Discord. Gonna keep Discord for a while.
Having a lot of success with Mastodon. It’s not ‘suggesting’ or ‘promoting’ posts at me, my followed list is just people I follow and it feels so fucking clean.
Noice… I’m gonna install WeChat rn. I honestly trust that more than signal.
Masto really got a boost with its nice android apps IMO, so I’ve gotta start using it more, even though I’m not huge into microblogging.
