I came away from Facebook 6 years ago when i realised it was majorly effecting my mental health with its seriously toxic and witch hunting environment. Then came away from Twitter in Jan partly because I had made cupoftea.social and wasnt spending time there anymore but also found that place had turned toxic. Ive found in the 7 months of running my own mastodon instance that less is more. Less content but more meaningful interaction with other people and I go out the house more often.
