Yes, you are going crazy.
You might be due for a break from the internet. Respectfully.
This website doesn’t matter. Whichever other websites you may use probably don’t matter either. If you could step away from something for a month without any repercussions in your real life, it’s best to exercise that ability once in a while to remind yourself of what’s really important.
You think a lot about wasteof. Why? What good does it do you? Why seek attention in this small, scattered community of people you don’t know? And when you’re awarded that attention, does it even make you happy?
I advise you take a month off. From here and as much of the internet as you possibly can (perhaps all of it). Go spend time with people you really know, the ones who make a positive difference in your life.
ja this and also if someone makes a mean comment, remind them that it literally costs $0 to just scroll away if theyre not a fan - works even better on media like instagram whose algorithm relies on engagement, like comments, but on wasteof the same still applies! i literally ignore 90% of the content on my feeds on all social media, it is never so serious
feature idea: every time someone scrolls they lose $15, it’d be a real wasteof.money
(from re-reading this comment, if the post looked like I was complaining I don't get any attention when posting, then no it's not that - it's more that the site imposes so many invisible restrictions you can't do anything without it causing some drama, or people complaining about the “good old days” in unnecessarily wordy posts)
