Instead, I decided to set up my social media consumption through a RSS reader. (Facebook is not on this list because I’ve decided to simply not use it.) I thought of going cold-turkey on Twitter and Instagram, but remembered how much value Twitter has given me, and how many photographers or artists on Instagram I still wanted to keep up with. I wanted to spend less total time, and to increase the quality of time I did spend, on social media.Īt the end of the day, I wanted to curate my content consumption and my attention the way I wanted to, rather than as a private social media company and its algorithms wanted to. Infinite scroll, algorithmically determined suggestions, notifications. Instagram: too many posts from accounts I felt lukewarm about, and too many acquaintances, which made make me feel like I’m stalking their lives. Twitter: too many tweets from accounts I don’t follow. Primary dashboard full of irrelevant content.There were a few problems with my status quo habit - which was all on desktop, not on mobile or apps: I wanted to reduce and be more intentional about my social media consumption habits for Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. The video plans from an un-logged in YouTube page. To watch, I hit Enter, which brings me to a new tab within my RSS reader. Right: YouTube shows up with the title and show notes. Left: Instagram shows up on my RSS reader with the full image/s.
