This post resonated me so well...

It's been more than a year since I quit Twitter and the likes. I can't stress enough how good it feels to not have constant stream of mental hazard. I decided to rely on my whim to collect information using my own filter bubble (something I like to term as "information mindfulness"). I feel: as digital platforms are growing and evolving, with everyone inside the echo chambers [0], it's better to practice this "information mindfulness".

I am sure it depends on your own usecase for social media like Twitter; how you're going to sink in the platform. For me it didn't work. I hit my mental limit (finally after a long time).

[0] - At this stage, almost everything feels like an echo chamber.
