Is being uninformed worth it when deleting social media?
Hey, I’ve been wanting to delete most of my socials for a while, but the main thing I’m scared about is being uninformed about stuff my friends are doing and being uninformed on other news in general. Is there any solution to this?
I say that Snapchat is best social media, with it being primarily a messaging service (and it’s what most of my friends have, I’m in high school), but I’d say that my friends most often post on Instagram for stories and notes.
I also like to see the other sides of news, cuz TikTok/twitter sometimes is less filtered than most primary news sources I find and is also faster with information typically
Is there any solution for this kind of dilemma? Do you think it comes down to self discipline to not doom scroll like a lobotomite (even if the app is meticulously designed just for that), or is there like an third party api app alternative that solves these issues? Sorry for the long winded post lol
Edit: rephrased the sentence regarding Snapchat
