Absolutely this. I banned the big platforms from my phone and only use Fediverse apps now. When I opened Instagram it kinda felt like when I had a relapse and became flooded with sadness, rage and Weltschmerz. Here I check for a couple of minutes, still my conditioning to reach for scrolling and move on with my day.
And whenever I write a comment here I’m not scared to regret it soon after.
