If you decide not to totally quit a network, do what I do:

1. Turn off all notifications, especially for replies, likes, and content suggestions.

2. Train yourself not to look for feedback on the things you do post as a matter of habit. Intentionally check on the important discussions IFF you _remember_ to do so.

3. If possible, hide or remove any karma-like indications. Your life is better if the internet points aren't visible.



Just use the webapp too, when possible. Remove all native apps on your phones. Don’t read emails.


4. If you do scroll social media and you see a bad post then "punish" the platform by leaving.
