When I hopped over to the #fediverse as my primary social media experience, I assumed it would just be a change of address. I didn't anticipate that I'd want to use social media less when I'm not getting the steady supply of dopamine squirts.
I sometimes don't post or check #mastodon all weekend, and sometimes I feel guilty—like I'm not doing "my part" to make the platform successful. But now I'm thinking that it's actually better for me.
