In Q4 2025, I said I was making a big effort to reduce screen time, especially phone use. I did not describe specific steps or a target amount.
On November 30, 2025, I said, “Theres a doomscrolling epidemic going on.” I did not define the scope or causes of the epidemic, offer evidence, or suggest a response.
On January 7, 2026, I said I was sick and tired of scrolling social media and felt like “a slave” hopping between apps just to scroll. Sometimes I get good information from it, but generally I do not; I said I was making a change without specifying what it would be. This connects with my goal of using social media intentionally, as described in focus and deep work.
On February 14, 2026, I connected “Accelerating dead internet theory” with the aims of going outside more, being present in our lives, and spending time with loved ones. I did not explain what accelerating the theory would mean in practice or how it would support those aims.

On November 14, 2025, I called an unidentified product interesting because it helps people spend less time on their phones. I did not name the product or describe how it works. The post quoted @Youkhna’s design opinion and shared a link, but the captured content does not identify what the link contains.
On November 25, 2025, I called @Kaizerrev’s take really well articulated. Their quoted post discussed Nick Fuentes comparing TikTok, Fentanyl, and OnlyFans in terms of danger; those comparisons were theirs, not claims I made. My reaction does not say which one is most dangerous.
I want to use my phone as a tool rather than let it take me away from presence. On December 19, 2024, I shared the reminder, “Your phone is robbing you of your presence. Use it as a tool, don’t let it use you.” I did not explain what presence means here or name specific practices for changing phone use. This connects with my interest in algorithms mirror your engagement.
On February 9, 2025, replying to @minghyahgi, I agreed that there is too much rage bait and called it a trap. I did not identify the specific content or situation I had in mind.
