<p>Sure the political scandal got me to re-think my use of the platforms but the main reason I ditched them didn&rsquo;t have anything to do with that: it was about what they are as &ldquo;social&rdquo; platforms. Part of it was my political engagement socially through those platforms though. You see I realized that they were separating us algorithmically into echo chambers and that any political speech I had was either preaching to the choir, or yelling at people who would double down on their different political beliefs. And that&rsquo;s not really healthy for anyone.</p>
<p>Aside from that it wasn&rsquo;t healthy for my mental health. I&rsquo;ve often said that technology doesn&rsquo;t change fundamental human nature but it does amplify and accelerate it. People tend to compare ourselves to each other. I&rsquo;ve heard it said by a wise pastor that &ldquo;Comparison is the death of joy.&rdquo; I know this to be true in my life too. I had to through self discipline excise this joy-draining comparing of peoples best selves on social media before I could have the space and energy to build my own best life. It is also incredibly freeing. I don&rsquo;t have to care at all about how many likes I get for photos and videos of major life events. Does it bring joy to the people I have decided I actually care about? Brilliant! That&rsquo;s all that matters.</p>
<p>Since giving up my use of those platforms I have done much better with my mental health (I still have an account because I don&rsquo;t believe they actually honor one&rsquo;s request to delete data nor are legally obligated to do so). I used to struggle often with depression and anxiety, while I still have some level of anxiety it is manageable and seemingly normal reactions to a chaotic world. I&rsquo;m much more balanced and joyful and stable in enduring hardships. And it&rsquo;s given me the time and energy to truly connect with people and invest in relationships of all sorts from acquiantances to friends, to chosen family. And as an adult all family is chosen family precisely because we have the options to not chose to engage with people we call family. Even if engaging with them is the default, that we have the option to not do it means that when we do interact it was our decision to make.</p>
