Watched an Elden Ring video and playing a little extra video games as a treat today. Moving forward, Idk, but definitely not going back on FB or Insta.

Red note is actually a pretty decent app!
Im enjoying it. ❤️

A little bit of red note, playing around with a few of self hosting projects, mostly just stewing in anger. Depression will likely hit me at some point in the near future and I’ll have to figure it out. Super fun! 🙃

brandicatellier.bsky.social•38 days ago

Adds to cart. 🙃

I'm using VPN super using a Canadian server,
I had to create a new email and new TikTok account though.

Feel ya sis. I’m doing a dopamine detox. (Not well clearly) but sitting in silence and cold showers/ baths

I deleted tiktok the minute Shou Chew proved he was as corrupt as meta. That bullshit with turning tiktok off & back on, patting trump on the back.... After 5 years obsessed w/tiktok, I'm OVER it

Mullvad vpn is great, but it still costs around $6 per month. The way it works is cool though. It doesn’t keep any of your personal information

77tapes.bsky.social•38 days ago

I don't know of free ones that aren't compromised in some way, but I can recommend Mullvad and Mozilla.

I got rid of my meta apps too. Honestly, the only thing really bothering me is that today and tomorrow, ish is going down in DC… I hate that we can’t communicate and share info as easily and quickly now.

ruthiepantz.bsky.social•38 days ago

I have no idea. Plus I just uninstalled meta apps, so idk what to do

debateher.bsky.social•38 days ago

I’m blacking out insta as much as possible during this ban on principle, but I did scroll to look for info on tiktok

meta scrolling just doesn’t hit like tiktok, I have no desire to open meta to fill the tiktok void

Might start exploring RedNote more today 🤔

ruthiepantz.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yeah, the fb algo has always been shitty

YouTube shorts is hitting unexpectedly scratching the itch

doobershmoo.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yea same. I have found most people I followed on tiktok are either posting on YouTube or here.

noone-9001.bsky.social•38 days ago

I joined little red book. It’s actually better.

ejmanx.bsky.social•38 days ago

I use Proton VPN, they offer free and paid. And they are based outside of the US. Geneva I think.

77tapes.bsky.social•38 days ago

Proton's CEO is in Trump's pocket. It's only as secure as that.

ejmanx.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thanks for the update, I was not yet aware.

ejmanx.bsky.social•38 days ago

Didn’t notice the second half lol I’m keeping myself busy here, on 📕 and YT. And snacks… they def help lol

garbledskulls.bsky.social•38 days ago

I’ve been using proton too for years (at $5/mo). You think you’ll switch to something else now?

deniseconroy.bsky.social•38 days ago

Writing! I've written a few pieces this morning. Also, check out Wired's article (they shared it on here) on the VPN thing and using one to access TT. Sounds like it may require more than that.

captian72.bsky.social•38 days ago

I’ve been keeping busy with reading books and working on projects that I’ve put on the back burner

jba25.bsky.social•38 days ago

The TikTok community is impossible to replace or do without- that’s what I miss the most. The ability to connect with others & to educate & encourage each other & share ideas & share reactions to all the things going on in our world.

sugargranny.bsky.social•38 days ago

Make a rednote account! You can still use it :)

damedrury.bsky.social•38 days ago

Well there has been crying. Snacking. Reading smutty fanfic. Later will be cookie making, being crafty and lawn mowing videos. Not great but making due.

ariuss3.bsky.social•38 days ago

Playing games or watching YouTube on my computer. No idea how I will cope in the future.

name-is-ab.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm fine

captainhavok.bsky.social•38 days ago

I use Proton as my VPN. I’ve been watching YouTube videos of my favorite TikTok creators and writing down how I’m feeling so I don’t let it build up.

smartasscandy.bsky.social•38 days ago

Adhd drop is hard but I found two discord communities to try to remain connected. Definitely a blue dot in a red state.
