    If you’re on socials, bullshit is being shoved in your face. Is your palate so refined that you avoid it entirely? Or, like violence, is the seed of foolishness in all of us?

      Is your palate so refined that you avoid it entirely?

      Anything with an algorithm, yeah. Lemmy is all that I am on.

      And it’s not so much “refinement of palate” as it is simply making room in my head for my own thoughts, and ensuring nothing gets into my head without me having had the opportunity to think about it and fact check if need be.

      And yeah, I do a LOT of fact checking. Staying off social media keeps it at a manageable level for me.
