My tactic (which I'm violating right now in order to post this, mea culpa) was to move the few things that strike me as valuable to a newsreader and quickly grind through them with coffee in the morning.

I don't give a damn about smartphones, so there's no temptation there, and simply organizing around a handful of computer-oriented reddit groups (as opposed to the crazies at /politics), science news sites, the local newspaper, and oddly enough, RT (mostly international news) pretty much does the trick.

Add in the forays to email/banking plus archive.org, libgen, Sci-Hub for books/papers and Amazon for stuff and the internet is pretty much handled except for the occasional technical question.

For some reason, the discipline of RSS is good for calming down any need for outrage porn.

As an aside, my latest experiment in social media consists of sending vintage postcards.
