I think hanging out in weird kink spots before social media took over did a lot to inoculate me against social media
folks out here like "ah, I was addicted to the numbers, the dopamine hit of seeing a little (1) on my notifications tab! it was unhealthy"
meanwhile I used to hang out on F-List and the (1) to me is, frankly, a brief moment of dread because it means the most annoying person on earth has sent me the message "hi"
