I think for me, the internet would have to be totally eclipsed by the enshittification process, for me to revise how I use it and what for. I’ve been online for 28 years now and I am beginning to slow down more and more as time goes on. I used to have been a community seeker, an explorer and a very curious person.

But as I have watched and learned where the internet was going and all of the struggles it has faced. While personally having dealt with my own fair share of troubles with it, I am sometimes under the impression about being more than ready to hang it up and stick to just the minimalist way possible when it comes to the internet.

And we’re talking, only watching YouTube/Netflix, coming on to Second Life to do whatever, only interacting with who I know and just making sure things are taken care of with online bills and such. Nothing more.

    I already actively avoid the shithole that is YouTube, as in I refuse to follow a link if it’s YouTube and Google another path for what I need. Stopped Reddit, my only social media app last June, and now only on Lemmy a couple, the times per week. 5-10 years ago I used to complain about how bad Google was getting, little did I know how truly useless it would get.
