Of course I do. I don't use Reddit on the phone, only on desktop. Phone is for reading ebooks, using maps when outside, and quickly searching for something in the browser.

I prefer limiting social media by changing my mindset. I find good things to do and look at, and refuse to be served up by algorithms.

For Facebook, I made my bookmark shortcut lead directly to my own profile/feed. (I have to use it, it's a staple for my business in my country, unfortunately.) I don't watch other feeds, ever. Occasionally I answer messages from friends.

I never got into using twitter, perhaps for the best. I find it hard to invest in platforms that are huge conglomerates of people.

The only "doom-scrolly" thing I have left is reddit. So I've completely curated it with small subreddits highly focused on the skills and interests I want to develop, and things that cheer me up and I want to see. I never look out. It can still be a productivity drain, but it's nice.

People should be more adamant about making technology serve their needs, and customizing it so it does. This should be a mindset foundation.

This is post-modernism applied to math. It concludes in solipsism.

Since the mind and its mental constructs are a part of the objective reality, they will end up describing aspects of objective reality. If they don't, they break down, become chaotic and incomprehensible to those grounded in the objective reality.

I checked it out, didn't seem anything special.

Tried to climb the highest hexagonal level, but it seemed impossible. Raced across the second-highest but no mountains were reaching high enough.

Finally I let myself fall. Realized the underside of the hexagonal level was sticky and kept me flying attached to it for a while. With a little twist I could even lift myself up to the surface.

Found a high mountain, jumped to the underside of the highest hexagonal level, and voila. I was stuck and able to get to its surface.

Then I just glided at high speed on top of the world. Nice.
