Yes, it mostly disappeared for me recently (apart from HN, Twitter was my only social media) and all I have is a sense of relief. Why didn’t I stop sooner?

I realized a large part of why I was using it recently was to follow my municipality’s elections, and I would have been far better served simply attending meetings and speaking directly with candidates. I did this a bit, but spent far too much time soaking in second hand information from Twitter. Why?! It feels kind of crazy in retrospect.
