I already have if you don’t count HN.

You don’t need social media, and I think less of people who need the acceptance of others.

I quit all social media about 10 years ago, when I wasn’t yet 20. I don’t watch or read the news either.

People are sheep though, so they thought that odd. But I’m not a sheep. You soon learn the important relationships, and the pointless ones.

I have nothing but HN. I don’t even have a LinkedIn, I still have a good software job.

You don’t need any of it, it’s all just noise and self-felating, distractions.

I have a great quality of life, very close friends and proper relationships with people, and I spend my time outside or furthering my studies.

I don’t care what Stacy ate for breakfast yesterday, and I don’t care about John’s new car. I don’t care about Bobs new position, I don’t care about Jacks political prowess. I don’t care about the “edgy” meme that Kate posts.

You are what you consume. So if you consume banal, shitty content, non-genuine surface level relationships, and manipulative advertising, and put up a false digital grandiose mask of who you are- what does that make you?
