I would like to no longer have this need and have worked on it off and on for like a decade. I'm better now than I used to be, but I still reach for phone and pull up My Sites. I need something to replace that before I can fully offboard and I don't know what it would be. - ThreadSky

I like having an RSS reader with good blogs to scroll through and I still love forums (https://RPG.net). But neither gives me the dopamine rush of a Twitter/Bluesky/etc.

I've gotten better at not venting into an online void and talking about real things with people I know instead, so the output problem is partially solved. But the input isn't. I need stuff to put in my head in odd line standing moments.

I've been off Twitter for months and *still* start to type in the site as a reflex when I open my web browser - I think folks probably underestimate the degree to which habits rewire your brain.

At this point the only reason I know anyone stays on there is out of ease to communicate with family, or out of obligation. And while there is a twinge of the former, between work and a social group I'm an officer of, it's really the latter keeping me there.

That said, about three years ago I uninstalled the app from my phone. It made a WORLD of difference for me and how I use that website, which is to say hardly at all outside of work hours.
