I never used TTTT, but I used to read TGCJ religiously, which I understand has some cultural overlap with TTTT… I stopped reading TGCJ almost immediately upon joining the fediverse. Even after revisiting TGCJ several times recently, I’m always left thinking, “…I used to like this?”, and close the tab after like three posts.
For me, what I liked about TGCJ was that it was a place to vent, a place to tell jokes of often dubious taste, a place to find community, a place that was leftist and tolerant of xenogenders… But when I could find all of those things in places like Hexbear instead, I started to see TGCJ for what it was when one takes all those positive facets away.
So I guess for you, what I’d recommend is figuring out what TTTT means to you, and seeing if you can find those same things in places that are better for your mental health. Maybe find some way to block access to TTTT, at least temporarily.
