[PragmaticPulp]

You are vastly overthinking this.

If you don’t want to use social media, you don’t have to. It won’t end your career or social life. If you’re struggling this badly with just thinking about social media, maybe it’s best if you stay away.

If you do choose to use social media, you don’t have to use it a certain way. Keep in touch with friends if you want. Or don’t. Up to you. There’s no requirement that you get sucked into endless social media debates.

> Addition: I even have to stay away from Hacker News regulary

Hacker News is a form of social media. We’re here having discussions with up and down votes. It’s not that different than other social media sites like Reddit, except for the topics and moderation format.
