I went dark on social media about nine months ago. It's been great for my mental health.

Ironically, it was Reddit that brought me back. The reason is there is freedom to being anonymous while having all your posts public. Like HN.

I have new accounts and I only follow and post around a single interest of mine. Even my Facebook account is anonymous.

My system works well. I plan to keep using it across 2022.

HN and Reddit have shown me that single-subject media is typically positive and fun.

I have no idea what my real friends are up to unless I see them or text them.

I like my life this way. It feels like my world is smaller but it also wonderfully quieter.. in a good way.
